How to run a plugin

hooks are executed and events are triggered.

Example on executing hooks

// index.php
require "vendor/autoload.php";

use Bethropolis\PluginSystem\System;

$dir = __DIR__ . "/examples/";
System::loadPlugins($dir);

// the callbacks are defined in the "making a plugin" page

$greeting = System::executeHook('my_hook', null, "john"); // returns "hello john" :array
$addition = System::executeHook("calculate_addition", null, 4,6); // returns "The sum of 4 and 6 is 10" :array

Example on triggering events

// index.php
require "vendor/autoload.php";

use Bethropolis\PluginSystem\System;

$dir = __DIR__ . "/examples/";
System::loadPlugins($dir);

System::registerEvent("greet");

System::addAction("greet", function($name) {
    return "hello {$name}";
});

System::triggerEvent("greet", "john"); // hello john

Registering an event in a plugin

// ExamplePlugin.php
class ExamplePlugin extends \Bethropolis\PluginSystem\Plugin
{

    public function initialize()
    {
        $this->linkEvent('greet', array($this, 'myCallback'));
    }

    public function myCallback($name = [])
    {
        return "hello {$name}";
    }
}

note that unlike a hook an event must already be registered
