Views Hooks Extras

This module extends Views' native hooks to more specifically target particular views and their displays -- basically hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() for views hooks. This can help to avoid function calls with tons of conditional logic just to delineate which views are being targeted.

TL;DR:

Before: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

function mymodule_views_pre_render(ViewExecutable $view) {
  switch ($view->id()) {
    case 'product_index':
      do_thing_1();
      if ($view->current_display === 'page_1') {
        do_thing_2();    
      }
       break;
    case 'users_list':
      do_thing_3();
      break;
  }
}

After: ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

function mymodule_extra_views_product_index_pre_render(ViewExecutable $view) {
  do_thing_1();
}

function mymodule_extra_views_product_index__page_1_pre_render(ViewExecutable $view) {
  do_thing_2();
}

function mymodule_extra_views_users_list_pre_render(ViewExecutable $view) {
  do_thing_3();
}

=======

Hooks take the format of:

• hook_extra_viewsPrefix_VIEW_ID_viewsSuffix
• hook_extra_viewsPrefix_VIEW_ID__DISPLAY_ID_viewsSuffix

Note that the DISPLAY_ID portion takes on the snake case version of the actual display ID. That is to say, if you happened to name your view display to be page-1, the hook would need to use page_1.

At time of writing, the following views hooks are currently supported:

• hook_views_query_substitutions
• hook_views_pre_view
• hook_views_pre_build
• hook_views_post_build
• hook_views_pre_execute
• hook_views_pre_render
• hook_views_post_render
• hook_views_query_alter
• hook_views_preview_info_alter

Logic already exists to support the field_views and plugin hooks, but we aren't sure whether there's a way to parse a particular view or display ID from the available parameters. Feel free to open an issue if you have a solution for any of these hooks.

Shameless Self Promotion

A list of modules that I maintain:

• Cache Register: A module aimed at improving developer quality of life surrounding caching.
• Enum Generator: A developer utility that generates enums and class constants from a site's entities.
• Views Hooks Extras: Extends Views' native hooks to more specifically target particular views and their displays
