Hook on the client side when a post enters a queue of posts

<baris>

The autogenerated hooks page doesn't catch dynamic hooks like action:composer.' + type. These hooks are located at https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-composer-default/blob/master/static/lib/composer.js#L800

You need to require the hooks module before using it, for example.

require(['hooks'], function (hooks) {
  hooks.on('action:composer.topics.post', function (hookData) {
      console.log('isQueued', hookData.data.queued);
  });
});

@baris It still does not work...
It does not print anything on the console

It stays that way even after the post is sent.

From what I understand, this type of hook is in the following structure:
"action: composer." + Action.
The question is is there a list of acceptable actions? For example onShow, onHide, discard ...

The value actions for this hook are topics.post, posts.reply and posts.edit.

Are you putting the code in browser console and trying to post a new topic?

<baris>

Try using the below, without the hooks module

 $(window).on('action:composer.topics.post', function (ev, hookData) {
      console.log('isQueued', hookData.data.queued);
  });

Yes exactly.

I tried it too - same thing, nothing printed.

Thanks. Is there a place where this is neatly detailed?
Without having to look much at the source code ...

<baris>

Not right now the only source is the wiki page but like I said that doesn't catch if the hook name is generated in javascript.

The code I posted works for me btw, I added the code in the browser console and made a new post and saw isQueued being logged.

@baris Here's a screen shot - hope it's clear enough.

Hard to tell what's going on in that gif, seems like there are some javascript errors and the page refreshes.

@baris I tried here in the forum the code you gave - and it did not work ...

@josef Here is a screenshot showing it works for replies.

@baris I did exactly the same thing, and nothing was printed ...
I made 2 small screenshots (4.4 MB total) that show this.

You are using the wrong hook name

action:composer.topics.post => for new topic
action:composer.posts.reply => for new reply
