Last updated for WordPress 7.0. Installation ------------ [](#installation) - As a Composer package for use in PHP: ``` composer require wp-hooks/wordpress-core ``` - As an npm package for use in JavaScript or TypeScript: ``` npm install @wp-hooks/wordpress-core ``` Usage in PHP ------------ [](#usage-in-php) ``` // Get hooks as JSON: $actions_json = file_get_contents( 'vendor/wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/actions.json' ); $filters_json = file_get_contents( 'vendor/wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/filters.json' ); // Convert hooks to PHP: $actions = json_decode( $actions_json, true )['hooks']; $filters = json_decode( $filters_json, true )['hooks']; // Search for filters matching a string: $search = 'permalink'; $results = array_filter( $filters, function( array $hook ) use ( $search ) { return ( strpos( $hook['name'], $search ) !== false ); } ); var_dump( $results ); ``` Usage in JavaScript ------------------- [](#usage-in-javascript) ``` // Get hooks as array of objects: const actions = require('@wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/actions.json').hooks; const filters = require('@wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/filters.json').hooks; // Search for actions matching a string: const search = 'menu'; const results = actions.filter( hook => ( hook.name.match( search ) !== null ) ); console.log(results); ``` Importing in TypeScript ----------------------- [](#importing-in-typescript) ``` import { hooks as actions } from '@wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/actions.json'; import { hooks as filters } from '@wp-hooks/wordpress-core/hooks/filters.json'; ``` Interfaces for the components of the hooks can be imported too, if you need them: ``` import { Hooks, Hook, Doc, Tags, Tag } from '@wp-hooks/wordpress-core/interface'; ``` Actions, Filters, and Schemas ----------------------------- [](#actions-filters-and-schemas) - The actions can be found in [hooks/actions.json](hooks/actions.json) - The filters can be found in [hooks/filters.json](hooks/filters.json) - The JSON schema can be found in [hooks/schema.json](hooks/schema.json) - The TypeScript interfaces can be found in [interface/index.d.ts](interface/index.d.ts) What can I use this for? ------------------------ [](#what-can-i-use-this-for) Anything that needs programmatic access to a list of available hooks, for example: - [Autocomplete WordPress action and filter names in VS Code](https://github.com/johnbillion/vscode-wordpress-hooks) - [Autocomplete WordPress action and filter names in Vim](https://github.com/Mte90/deoplete-wp-hooks) - [WordPress plugin for Psalm](https://github.com/humanmade/psalm-plugin-wordpress) Regenerating the Hook Files --------------------------- [](#regenerating-the-hook-files) Change the `roots/wordpress-full` version in composer.json to one of: - The required major version, such as `6.8` - `dev-main` for nightlies prior to RC - An RC version, such as `6.9-RC1` Install the dependencies: ``` npm i && composer i ``` Then run: ``` composer generate ``` During generation, a change and data integrity issues are saved in CHANGELOG.md and ISSUES.md respectively. Hook Files for Plugins ---------------------- [](#hook-files-for-plugins) Do you want the same hook files for your favourite plugins? The hook files in this repo are generated using [wp-hooks-generator](https://github.com/wp-hooks/generator). It can generate hook files for WordPress plugins and themes as well as core.
