回覆: Looking for descriptions for Hooks on the Wiki page

Hello everyone,
Is there a document for all the hooks' definition, description, usage and list? I found some hooks which used in the code but couldn't find what it does. If there isn't, could someone tell me what hooks I could use on the homepage? Thanks.

Hello @Tina-Jang, we maintain an automated list of plugin hooks here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/wiki/Hooks

There are a couple that aren't in that list, but for the most part this should get you going.

Hello @julian
Thanks for the reply. I did find the wiki, but it's lacking information. I tried to understand some plugins people had built. They used hooks that weren't on the list. So I am a little confused. ex. filter:categories.build in recent-card plugin.
Just wondering how people found those hooks.

filter:categories.build is a special hook, that's why our automated system does not catch it.

Basically every page fires a hook that you can use to add or modify data that is passed in. For the categories page it is filter:categories.build for the recent page it is filter:recent.build and so on.

@baris Thank you, it explains a lot.
