Events

Events allows to extend plugin with your own custom functionalities.

You will be able to:

  • modify form data before it's stored to the database
  • change components behavior
  • use Magic Forms as frontend for your custom plugins

Available events are:

  • beforeSaveRecord
  • afterSaveRecord

Usage

Create your custom plugin and extend from the boot method:

public function boot() {

    # Change form data before save on database
    Event::listen('martin.forms.beforeSaveRecord', function (&$formdata, $component) {
        $formdata['somefield'] = "NEW VALUE";
    });

    # Print database record after saved
    Event::listen('martin.forms.afterSaveRecord', function (&$formdata, $component) {
        var_dump($formdata);
    });

}
