How to see what hooks are firing?
-
I'm developing my first plugin and would like to see what hooks are firing. Can nodebb be configured to log all hooks?
-
Why do you want to see that? What for? If you just want a list of available hooks look at this page: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/wiki/Hooks
-
To get a shorter path to understanding when certain hooks fire.
-
Not a bad idea, https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/81341e86ee5e6ea839c3460199950128020ad018, run in dev mode or with
grunt --verbose -
That might be a bit much even for verbose? One click gave me 87 lines of output that I can't post here because even Askimet thinks this is a bit spamy
It sure might be an interesting idea. But it also doesn't give a lot of information. For example it gives you no context information of the fired hooks. Why was it fired, for what was it fired, etc?
-
Maybe this could be configured to limit hook logs to a match a string. So you could tell it to log only "action" or "post" and that would control the spam
-
If you're on Linux this can be achieved. I'm at the moment doing this to exclude all of them:
./nodebb dev | grep -v "plugins/fireHook"If you only want action hooks you could do something like this:
./nodebb dev | grep -v -e "plugins/fireHook] filter" -e "plugins/fireHook] static"Probably somehow also possible with the PowerShell on Windows.
-
@dravere How would you achieve filtering out every "plugins/fireHook]" line that does NOT also have a certain string? (inclusion as opposed to exclusion)
-
If you want to filter for hooks you can just leave out the
-v. It will exclude every line others than the ones that include the pattern. For example:
./nodebb dev | grep "plugins/fireHook] filter:parse.post"This would only show you lines that include this pattern. Again you can combine multiple patterns, just provide each via the
-eargument. For example:
./nodebb dev | grep -e "plugins/fireHook] filter:parse.post" -e "plugins/fireHook] filter:users.get"
