User:SPage (WMF)/hooks.txt

From mediawiki.org

Here's doc/hooks.txt dumped into a wiki page. See phab:T93043 for why this is interesting.

Although it's a .txt file, like RELEASE-NOTES it has some wiki formatting in it. To make it more usable I wrapped the huge #Events and parameters section with <poem>, but we could instead

  • encourage more light formatting
  • pre-process to turn '<A-Z><A-Za-z>*' into a subsection heading, $x into <code>, etc.
  • parse it with a format like markdown, or...

Please comment on the bug phab:T93043.


hooks.txt

This document describes how event hooks work in MediaWiki; how to add hooks for an event; and how to run hooks for an event.

Glossary

[edit]

event

    Something that happens with the wiki. For example: a user logs in. A wiki
    page is saved. A wiki page is deleted. Often there are two events
    associated with a single action: one before the code is run to make the
    event happen, and one after. Each event has a name, preferably in
    CamelCase. For example, 'UserLogin', 'ArticleSave', 'ArticleSaveComplete',
    'ArticleDelete'.

hook

    A clump of code and data that should be run when an event happens. This can
    be either a function and a chunk of data, or an object and a method.

hook function

    The function part of a hook.

Rationale

[edit]

Hooks allow us to decouple optionally-run code from code that is run for everyone. It allows MediaWiki hackers, third-party developers and local administrators to define code that will be run at certain points in the mainline code, and to modify the data run by that mainline code. Hooks can keep mainline code simple, and make it easier to write extensions. Hooks are a principled alternative to local patches.

Consider, for example, two options in MediaWiki. One reverses the order of a title before displaying the article; the other converts the title to all uppercase letters. Currently, in MediaWiki code, we would handle this as follows (note: not real code, here):

function showAnArticle( $article ) { global $wgReverseTitle, $wgCapitalizeTitle;

if ( $wgReverseTitle ) { wfReverseTitle( $article ); }

if ( $wgCapitalizeTitle ) { wfCapitalizeTitle( $article ); }

# code to actually show the article goes here }

An extension writer, or a local admin, will often add custom code to the function -- with or without a global variable. For example, someone wanting email notification when an article is shown may add:

   function showAnArticle( $article ) {
       global $wgReverseTitle, $wgCapitalizeTitle, $wgNotifyArticle;

if ( $wgReverseTitle ) { wfReverseTitle( $article ); }

if ( $wgCapitalizeTitle ) { wfCapitalizeTitle( $article ); }

# code to actually show the article goes here

if ( $wgNotifyArticle ) { wfNotifyArticleShow( $article ); } }

Using a hook-running strategy, we can avoid having all this option-specific stuff in our mainline code. Using hooks, the function becomes:

function showAnArticle( $article ) {

if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleShow', array( &$article ) ) ) {

# code to actually show the article goes here

Hooks::run( 'ArticleShowComplete', array( &$article ) ); } }

We've cleaned up the code here by removing clumps of weird, infrequently used code and moving them off somewhere else. It's much easier for someone working with this code to see what's _really_ going on, and make changes or fix bugs.

In addition, we can take all the code that deals with the little-used title-reversing options (say) and put it in one place. Instead of having little title-reversing if-blocks spread all over the codebase in showAnArticle, deleteAnArticle, exportArticle, etc., we can concentrate it all in an extension file:

function reverseArticleTitle( $article ) { # ... }

function reverseForExport( $article ) { # ... }

The setup function for the extension just has to add its hook functions to the appropriate events:

setupTitleReversingExtension() { global $wgHooks;

$wgHooks['ArticleShow'][] = 'reverseArticleTitle'; $wgHooks['ArticleDelete'][] = 'reverseArticleTitle'; $wgHooks['ArticleExport'][] = 'reverseForExport'; }

Having all this code related to the title-reversion option in one place means that it's easier to read and understand; you don't have to do a grep-find to see where the $wgReverseTitle variable is used, say.

If the code is well enough isolated, it can even be excluded when not used -- making for some slight savings in memory and load-up performance at runtime. Admins who want to have all the reversed titles can add:

require_once 'extensions/ReverseTitle.php';

...to their LocalSettings.php file; those of us who don't want or need it can just leave it out.

The extensions don't even have to be shipped with MediaWiki; they could be provided by a third-party developer or written by the admin him/herself.

Writing hooks

[edit]

A hook is a chunk of code run at some particular event. It consists of:

 * a function with some optional accompanying data, or
 * an object with a method and some optional accompanying data.

Hooks are registered by adding them to the global $wgHooks array for a given event. All the following are valid ways to define hooks:

$wgHooks['EventName'][] = 'someFunction'; # function, no data $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( 'someFunction', $someData ); $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( 'someFunction' ); # weird, but OK

$wgHooks['EventName'][] = $object; # object only $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object, 'someMethod' ); $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object, 'someMethod', $someData ); $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object ); # weird but OK

When an event occurs, the function (or object method) will be called with the optional data provided as well as event-specific parameters. The above examples would result in the following code being executed when 'EventName' happened:

# function, no data someFunction( $param1, $param2 ) # function with data someFunction( $someData, $param1, $param2 )

# object only $object->onEventName( $param1, $param2 ) # object with method $object->someMethod( $param1, $param2 ) # object with method and data $object->someMethod( $someData, $param1, $param2 )

Note that when an object is the hook, and there's no specified method, the default method called is 'onEventName'. For different events this would be different: 'onArticleSave', 'onUserLogin', etc.

The extra data is useful if we want to use the same function or object for different purposes. For example:

$wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array( 'ircNotify', 'TimStarling' ); $wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array( 'ircNotify', 'brion' );

This code would result in ircNotify being run twice when an article is saved: once for 'TimStarling', and once for 'brion'.

Hooks can return three possible values:

 * true: the hook has operated successfully
 * "some string": an error occurred; processing should stop and the error
                  should be shown to the user
 * false: the hook has successfully done the work necessary and the calling
          function should skip

The last result would be for cases where the hook function replaces the main functionality. For example, if you wanted to authenticate users to a custom system (LDAP, another PHP program, whatever), you could do:

$wgHooks['UserLogin'][] = array( 'ldapLogin', $ldapServer );

function ldapLogin( $username, $password ) { # log user into LDAP return false; }

Returning false makes less sense for events where the action is complete, and will normally be ignored.

Note that none of the examples made use of create_function() as a way to attach a function to a hook. This is known to cause problems (notably with Special:Version), and should be avoided when at all possible.

Using hooks

[edit]

A calling function or method uses the Hooks::run() function to run the hooks related to a particular event, like so:

class Article { # ... function protect() { global $wgUser; if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtect', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) ) ) { # protect the article Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtectComplete', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) ); } } }

Hooks::run() returns true if the calling function should continue processing (the hooks ran OK, or there are no hooks to run), or false if it shouldn't (an error occurred, or one of the hooks handled the action already). Checking the return value matters more for "before" hooks than for "complete" hooks.

Hooks::run() was added in MediaWiki 1.18, before that the global function wfRunHooks must be used, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.25.

Note that hook parameters are passed in an array; this is a necessary inconvenience to make it possible to pass reference values (that can be changed) into the hook code. Also note that earlier versions of wfRunHooks took a variable number of arguments; the array() calling protocol came about after MediaWiki 1.4rc1.

'CanonicalNamespaces': For extensions adding their own namespaces or altering the defaults. Note that if you need to specify namespace protection or content model for a namespace that is added in a CanonicalNamespaces hook handler, you should do so by altering $wgNamespaceProtection and $wgNamespaceContentModels outside the handler, in top-level scope. The point at which the CanonicalNamespaces hook fires is too late for altering these variables. This applies even if the namespace addition is conditional; it is permissible to declare a content model and protection for a namespace and then decline to actually register it. &$namespaces: Array of namespace numbers with corresponding canonical names

 setting errors, as the deletion has already been partly carried out by this
 point.

You could use this hook if you want to reserve a specific "namespace" of tags, or something similar. $tag: name of the tag $user: user initiating the action &$status: Status object. Add your errors using `$status->fatal()` or warnings

 using `$status->warning()`. Errors and warnings will be relayed to the user.
 If you set an error, the user will be unable to create the tag.

'ChangeTagCanDelete': Tell whether a change tag should be able to be deleted from the UI (Special:Tags) or via the API. The default is that tags defined using the ListDefinedTags hook are not allowed to be deleted unless specifically allowed.

This is especially useful to prevent some content models to be used in some special location. $contentModel: ID of the content model in question $title: the Title in question. &$ok: Output parameter, whether it is OK to use $contentModel on $title. Handler functions that modify $ok should generally return false to prevent further hooks from further modifying $ok.
