FAQPage Schema
How do I add a Symfony EventDispatcher hook to a PHP plugin?▼

To add a Symfony EventDispatcher hook, you register the event handler via the getHooks() method and implement a corresponding public static method on the Plugin class using the correct event name.

What is the naming convention for module-scoped Symfony events in getHooks()?▼

Module-scoped Symfony events require the event handler to use the self::$module prefix. This ensures the registered hook properly maps to the correct module-specific event dispatcher scope.

Do I need to update tests when adding new Symfony event hooks?▼

Yes, you must update test expectations when adding new Symfony event hooks. The implementation enforces test alignment by requiring PluginTest hook counts and keys to match the newly registered events.

Can I extend plugin behavior without modifying core files using Symfony hooks?▼

Yes, adding Symfony EventDispatcher hooks allows you to extend plugin behavior without editing core files. You achieve this by defining new public static handlers in Plugin.php and registering them.

Why does my registered Symfony event hook not trigger in the plugin?▼

A registered Symfony event hook fails if the public static method on the Plugin class is missing or uses an incorrect event name. Module-scoped events also require the self::$module prefix to trigger correctly.
