before_respond

Overview

The before_respond hook executes before the v10+ REST Service call returns data to the user.

Definition

function before_respond($event, $response){}

Arguments

Considerations

• This is a global logic hook where the logic hook reference must be placed in ./custom/modules/logic_hooks.php.
• It is not advised to remove or unset any data. Sugar may be using this data and it can adversely affect your instance.
• This hook should not be used for any type of display output.
• This hook should be used when you want to add data to all API responses. If you are looking to modify data received from one specific endpoint, It is a much better approach to override that specific endpoint rather than to use this logic hook.
