PocketBase Hooks

Use routerAdd in a pb_hooks/*.pb.js file with a method, path pattern, and handler function. Path parameters use {name} syntax, and you respond with helpers like e.json(200, data). Optional middleware such as $apis.requireAuth() can protect the route.

Register onRecordCreateExecute with a callback and optional collection filter. Modify the record via e.record.set() before calling e.next(), or use onRecordAfterCreateSuccess to react after the record is saved.

No. pb_hooks runs on the goja engine, which supports ES5.1 plus limited ES6. Use function expressions and CommonJS require(); import/export, async/await, and arrow functions in older versions are not supported.

Call cronAdd with a job name, a standard cron expression like "0 3 * * *", and a function. Jobs run inside the PocketBase process and can query or delete records using $app; remove them with cronRemove.

Raw queries must use named parameters like {:status} with .bind() instead of string concatenation. Also verify collection and field names, and use $dbx expression helpers such as $dbx.hashExp for safe where clauses.
