after_save

Overview

The after_save hook executes after a record is saved.

Definition

      function after_save($bean, $event, $arguments){}

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
bean	Object	The bean object
event	String	The current event
arguments	Array	Additional information related to the event (typically empty)
arguments.isUpdate	Boolean	Whether or not the record is newly created or not. True is an existing record being saved. False is a new record being created
arguments.dataChanges	Array	A list of the fields in the auditable fields on the bean, including the ones that changed and the ones that did not. Note: This argument is deprecated and it is recommended to use arguments.stateChanges instead.
arguments.stateChanges	Array	Contains the fields which were changed comparing to the previous bean state

Considerations

Calling save on the bean in this hook will cause an infinite loop if not handled correctly. (i.e: $bean->save())
