Method Detail
callHook
static callHook(extensionPoint : String, function : String, args : Object...) : Object

args - the Array of function parameters
Returns:
the object returned by the hook or undefined

hasHook
static hasHook(extensionPoint : String) : boolean

extensionPoint refers to the same name used to register a script as implementation. With this method it's only possible to check for a whole script registered but it is not possible to check, whether an individual function is implemented.

Sample:

 dw.system.HookMgr.hasHook( "dw.order.calculate" );
 

Parameters:
extensionPoint - the extension point
Returns:
true, if a hook is registered or a default implementation exists, otherwise false
