Lifecycle Hooks¶
The Site object supports adding listeners to be invoked at certain events
in the lifecycle of rendering. These are called hooks.
To add a listener, simply call Site.on with the name of the event and a
callable which accepts a Site as its first argument,
def myhandler(site: Site):
# Do work here!
site.on('before-render', myhandler)
There are by default only the following events:
- render
- content
- pages
Each event emits a before- and after- version.
Additionally, there is an init event sent whenever a Site is
instantiated.
Custom Hooks¶
You can listen on and emit any events you like.
To emit a custom event, simply call site.emit('myevent').
