before-after-hook

asynchronous hooks for internal functionality

Build Status Coverage Status Greenkeeper badge

Usage

// instantiate hook API
const hook = new Hook()
// Create a hook
function getData (options) {
return hook('get', options, fetchFromDatabase)
.then(handleData)
.catch(handleGetError)
}
// register before/error/after hooks.
// The methods can be async or return a promise
hook.before('get', beforeHook)
hook.error('get', errorHook)
hook.after('get', afterHook)
getData({id: 123})

The methods are executed in the following order

  1. beforeHook
  2. fetchFromDatabase
  3. afterHook
  4. getData

beforeHook can mutate options before it’s passed to fetchFromDatabase.

If an error is thrown in beforeHook or fetchFromDatabase then errorHook is called next.

If afterHook throws an error then handleGetError is called instead of getData.

If errorHook throws an error then handleGetError is called next, otherwise afterHook and getData.

You can also use hook.wrap to achieve the same thing as shown above:

hook.wrap('get', async (getData, options) => {
await beforeHook(options)
try {
const result = getData(options)
} catch (error) {
await errorHook(error, options)
}
await afterHook(result, options)
})

Install

npm install before-after-hook

Or download the latest before-after-hook.min.js.

API

Constructor

The Hook constructor has no options and returns a hook instance with the methods below

const hook = new Hook()

hook.api

Use the api property to return the public API:

That way you don’t need to expose the hook() method to consumers of your library

hook()

Invoke before and after hooks. Returns a promise.

hook(nameOrNames, [options,] method)
Argument Type Description Required
name String or Array of Strings Hook name, for example 'save'. Or an array of names, see example below. Yes
options Object Will be passed to all before hooks as reference, so they can mutate it No, defaults to empty object ({})
method Function Callback to be executed after all before hooks finished execution successfully. options is passed as first argument Yes

Resolves with whatever method returns or resolves with. Rejects with error that is thrown or rejected with by

  1. Any of the before hooks, whichever rejects / throws first
  2. method
  3. Any of the after hooks, whichever rejects / throws first

Simple Example

hook('save', record, function (record) {
return store.save(record)
})
// shorter:  hook('save', record, store.save)

hook.before('save', function addTimestamps (record) {
const now = new Date().toISOString()
if (record.createdAt) {
record.updatedAt = now
} else {
record.createdAt = now
}
})

Example defining multiple hooks at once.

hook(['add', 'save'], record, function (record) {
return store.save(record)
})
hook.before('add', function addTimestamps (record) {
if (!record.type) {
throw new Error('type property is required')
}
})
hook.before('save', function addTimestamps (record) {
if (!record.type) {
throw new Error('type property is required')
}
})

Defining multiple hooks is helpful if you have similar methods for which you want to define separate hooks, but also an additional hook that gets called for all at once. The example above is equal to this:

hook('add', record, function (record) {
return hook('save', record, function (record) {
return store.save(record)
})
})

hook.before()

Add before hook for given name. Returns hook instance for chaining.

hook.before(name, method)
Argument Type Description Required
name String Hook name, for example 'save' Yes
method Function Executed before the wrapped method. Called with the hook’s options argument. Before hooks can mutate the passed options before they are passed to the wrapped method. Yes

Example

hook.before('save', function validate (record) {
if (!record.name) {
throw new Error('name property is required')
}
})

hook.error()

Add error hook for given name. Returns hook instance for chaining.

hook.error(name, method)
Argument Type Description Required
name String Hook name, for example 'save' Yes
method Function Executed when an error occurred in either the wrapped method or a before hook. Called with the thrown error and the hook’s options argument. The first method which does not throw an error will set the result that the after hook methods will receive. Yes

Example

hook.error('save', function (error, options) {
if (error.ignore) return
throw error
})

hook.after()

Add after hook for given name. Returns hook instance for chaining.

hook.after(name, method)
Argument Type Description Required
name String Hook name, for example 'save' Yes
method Function Executed after wrapped method. Called with what the wrapped method resolves with the hook’s options argument. Yes

Example

hook.after('save', function (result, options) {
if (result.updatedAt) {
app.emit('update', result)
} else {
app.emit('create', result)
}
})

hook.wrap()

Add wrap hook for given name. Returns hook instance for chaining.

hook.wrap(name, method)
Argument Type Description Required
name String Hook name, for example 'save' Yes
method Function Receives both the wrapped method and the passed options as arguments so it can add logic before and after the wrapped method, it can handle errors and even replace the wrapped method altogether Yes

Example

hook.wrap('save', async function (saveInDatabase, options) {
if (!record.name) {
throw new Error('name property is required')
}
try {
const result = await saveInDatabase(options)
if (result.updatedAt) {
app.emit('update', result)
} else {
app.emit('create', result)
}
return result
} catch (error) {
if (error.ignore) return
throw error
}
})

hook.remove()

Removes hook for given name. Returns hook instance for chaining.

hook.remove(name, hookMethod)
Argument Type Description Required
name String Hook name, for example 'save' Yes
beforeHookMethod Function Same function that was previously passed to hook.before(), hook.error(), hook.after() or hook.wrap() Yes

Example

hook.remove('save', validateRecord)
