| # Tapable |
|
|
| The tapable package exposes many Hook classes, which can be used to create hooks for plugins. |
|
|
| ```javascript |
| const { |
| AsyncParallelBailHook, |
| AsyncParallelHook, |
| AsyncSeriesBailHook, |
| AsyncSeriesHook, |
| AsyncSeriesWaterfallHook, |
| SyncBailHook, |
| SyncHook, |
| SyncLoopHook, |
| SyncWaterfallHook |
| } = require("tapable"); |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Installation |
|
|
| ```shell |
| npm install --save tapable |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| All Hook constructors take one optional argument, which is a list of argument names as strings. |
|
|
| ```js |
| const hook = new SyncHook(["arg1", "arg2", "arg3"]); |
| ``` |
|
|
| The best practice is to expose all hooks of a class in a `hooks` property: |
|
|
| ```js |
| class Car { |
| constructor() { |
| this.hooks = { |
| accelerate: new SyncHook(["newSpeed"]), |
| brake: new SyncHook(), |
| calculateRoutes: new AsyncParallelHook(["source", "target", "routesList"]) |
| }; |
| } |
| |
| /* ... */ |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| Other people can now use these hooks: |
|
|
| ```js |
| const myCar = new Car(); |
| |
| // Use the tap method to add a consument |
| myCar.hooks.brake.tap("WarningLampPlugin", () => warningLamp.on()); |
| ``` |
|
|
| It's required to pass a name to identify the plugin/reason. |
|
|
| You may receive arguments: |
|
|
| ```js |
| myCar.hooks.accelerate.tap("LoggerPlugin", (newSpeed) => |
| console.log(`Accelerating to ${newSpeed}`) |
| ); |
| ``` |
|
|
| For sync hooks, `tap` is the only valid method to add a plugin. Async hooks also support async plugins: |
|
|
| ```js |
| myCar.hooks.calculateRoutes.tapPromise( |
| "GoogleMapsPlugin", |
| (source, target, routesList) => |
| // return a promise |
| google.maps.findRoute(source, target).then((route) => { |
| routesList.add(route); |
| }) |
| ); |
| myCar.hooks.calculateRoutes.tapAsync( |
| "BingMapsPlugin", |
| (source, target, routesList, callback) => { |
| bing.findRoute(source, target, (err, route) => { |
| if (err) return callback(err); |
| routesList.add(route); |
| // call the callback |
| callback(); |
| }); |
| } |
| ); |
| |
| // You can still use sync plugins |
| myCar.hooks.calculateRoutes.tap( |
| "CachedRoutesPlugin", |
| (source, target, routesList) => { |
| const cachedRoute = cache.get(source, target); |
| if (cachedRoute) routesList.add(cachedRoute); |
| } |
| ); |
| ``` |
|
|
| The class declaring these hooks needs to call them: |
|
|
| ```js |
| class Car { |
| /** |
| * You won't get returned value from SyncHook or AsyncParallelHook, |
| * to do that, use SyncWaterfallHook and AsyncSeriesWaterfallHook respectively |
| */ |
| |
| setSpeed(newSpeed) { |
| // following call returns undefined even when you returned values |
| this.hooks.accelerate.call(newSpeed); |
| } |
| |
| useNavigationSystemPromise(source, target) { |
| const routesList = new List(); |
| return this.hooks.calculateRoutes |
| .promise(source, target, routesList) |
| .then((res) => |
| // res is undefined for AsyncParallelHook |
| routesList.getRoutes() |
| ); |
| } |
| |
| useNavigationSystemAsync(source, target, callback) { |
| const routesList = new List(); |
| this.hooks.calculateRoutes.callAsync(source, target, routesList, (err) => { |
| if (err) return callback(err); |
| callback(null, routesList.getRoutes()); |
| }); |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| The Hook will compile a method with the most efficient way of running your plugins. It generates code depending on: |
|
|
| - The number of registered plugins (none, one, many) |
| - The kind of registered plugins (sync, async, promise) |
| - The used call method (sync, async, promise) |
| - The number of arguments |
| - Whether interception is used |
|
|
| This ensures fastest possible execution. |
|
|
| ## Hook types |
|
|
| Each hook can be tapped with one or several functions. How they are executed depends on the hook type: |
|
|
| - Basic hook (without “Waterfall”, “Bail” or “Loop” in its name). This hook simply calls every function it tapped in a row. |
|
|
| - **Waterfall**. A waterfall hook also calls each tapped function in a row. Unlike the basic hook, it passes a return value from each function to the next function. |
|
|
| - **Bail**. A bail hook allows exiting early. When any of the tapped function returns anything, the bail hook will stop executing the remaining ones. |
|
|
| - **Loop**. When a plugin in a loop hook returns a non-undefined value the hook will restart from the first plugin. It will loop until all plugins return undefined. |
|
|
| Additionally, hooks can be synchronous or asynchronous. To reflect this, there’re “Sync”, “AsyncSeries”, and “AsyncParallel” hook classes: |
|
|
| - **Sync**. A sync hook can only be tapped with synchronous functions (using `myHook.tap()`). |
|
|
| - **AsyncSeries**. An async-series hook can be tapped with synchronous, callback-based and promise-based functions (using `myHook.tap()`, `myHook.tapAsync()` and `myHook.tapPromise()`). They call each async method in a row. |
|
|
| - **AsyncParallel**. An async-parallel hook can also be tapped with synchronous, callback-based and promise-based functions (using `myHook.tap()`, `myHook.tapAsync()` and `myHook.tapPromise()`). However, they run each async method in parallel. |
|
|
| The hook type is reflected in its class name. E.g., `AsyncSeriesWaterfallHook` allows asynchronous functions and runs them in series, passing each function’s return value into the next function. |
|
|
| ## Interception |
|
|
| All Hooks offer an additional interception API: |
|
|
| ```js |
| myCar.hooks.calculateRoutes.intercept({ |
| call: (source, target, routesList) => { |
| console.log("Starting to calculate routes"); |
| }, |
| register: (tapInfo) => { |
| // tapInfo = { type: "promise", name: "GoogleMapsPlugin", fn: ... } |
| console.log(`${tapInfo.name} is doing its job`); |
| return tapInfo; // may return a new tapInfo object |
| } |
| }); |
| ``` |
|
|
| **call**: `(...args) => void` Adding `call` to your interceptor will trigger when hooks are triggered. You have access to the hooks arguments. |
|
|
| **tap**: `(tap: Tap) => void` Adding `tap` to your interceptor will trigger when a plugin taps into a hook. Provided is the `Tap` object. `Tap` object can't be changed. |
|
|
| **loop**: `(...args) => void` Adding `loop` to your interceptor will trigger for each loop of a looping hook. |
|
|
| **register**: `(tap: Tap) => Tap | undefined` Adding `register` to your interceptor will trigger for each added `Tap` and allows to modify it. |
|
|
| ## Context |
|
|
| Plugins and interceptors can opt-in to access an optional `context` object, which can be used to pass arbitrary values to subsequent plugins and interceptors. |
|
|
| ```js |
| myCar.hooks.accelerate.intercept({ |
| context: true, |
| tap: (context, tapInfo) => { |
| // tapInfo = { type: "sync", name: "NoisePlugin", fn: ... } |
| console.log(`${tapInfo.name} is doing it's job`); |
| |
| // `context` starts as an empty object if at least one plugin uses `context: true`. |
| // If no plugins use `context: true`, then `context` is undefined. |
| if (context) { |
| // Arbitrary properties can be added to `context`, which plugins can then access. |
| context.hasMuffler = true; |
| } |
| } |
| }); |
| |
| myCar.hooks.accelerate.tap( |
| { |
| name: "NoisePlugin", |
| context: true |
| }, |
| (context, newSpeed) => { |
| if (context && context.hasMuffler) { |
| console.log("Silence..."); |
| } else { |
| console.log("Vroom!"); |
| } |
| } |
| ); |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## HookMap |
|
|
| A HookMap is a helper class for a Map with Hooks |
|
|
| ```js |
| const keyedHook = new HookMap((key) => new SyncHook(["arg"])); |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```js |
| keyedHook.for("some-key").tap("MyPlugin", (arg) => { |
| /* ... */ |
| }); |
| keyedHook.for("some-key").tapAsync("MyPlugin", (arg, callback) => { |
| /* ... */ |
| }); |
| keyedHook.for("some-key").tapPromise("MyPlugin", (arg) => { |
| /* ... */ |
| }); |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```js |
| const hook = keyedHook.get("some-key"); |
| if (hook !== undefined) { |
| hook.callAsync("arg", (err) => { |
| /* ... */ |
| }); |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Hook/HookMap interface |
|
|
| Public: |
|
|
| ```ts |
| interface Hook { |
| tap: (name: string | Tap, fn: (context?, ...args) => Result) => void; |
| tapAsync: ( |
| name: string | Tap, |
| fn: ( |
| context?, |
| ...args, |
| callback: (err: Error | null, result: Result) => void |
| ) => void |
| ) => void; |
| tapPromise: ( |
| name: string | Tap, |
| fn: (context?, ...args) => Promise<Result> |
| ) => void; |
| intercept: (interceptor: HookInterceptor) => void; |
| } |
| |
| interface HookInterceptor { |
| call: (context?, ...args) => void; |
| loop: (context?, ...args) => void; |
| tap: (context?, tap: Tap) => void; |
| register: (tap: Tap) => Tap; |
| context: boolean; |
| } |
| |
| interface HookMap { |
| for: (key: any) => Hook; |
| intercept: (interceptor: HookMapInterceptor) => void; |
| } |
| |
| interface HookMapInterceptor { |
| factory: (key: any, hook: Hook) => Hook; |
| } |
| |
| interface Tap { |
| name: string; |
| type: string; |
| fn: Function; |
| stage: number; |
| context: boolean; |
| before?: string | Array; |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| Protected (only for the class containing the hook): |
|
|
| ```ts |
| interface Hook { |
| isUsed: () => boolean; |
| call: (...args) => Result; |
| promise: (...args) => Promise<Result>; |
| callAsync: ( |
| ...args, |
| callback: (err: Error | null, result: Result) => void |
| ) => void; |
| } |
| |
| interface HookMap { |
| get: (key: any) => Hook | undefined; |
| for: (key: any) => Hook; |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## MultiHook |
|
|
| A helper Hook-like class to redirect taps to multiple other hooks: |
|
|
| ```js |
| const { MultiHook } = require("tapable"); |
| |
| this.hooks.allHooks = new MultiHook([this.hooks.hookA, this.hooks.hookB]); |
| ``` |
|
