Generates a JSON representation of the WordPress actions and filters in your code. Can be used with WordPress plugins, themes, and core.

Installation

composer require onepix/wordpress-hooks-stub-generator

Requirements

PHP: 8.1+

Generating the Hook Files

./bin/generate-hooks --input=src --input=additional --output=hooks

Usage of the Generated Hook Files in PHP

// Get hooks as JSON:
$actions_json = file_get_contents( 'hooks/actions.json' );
$filters_json = file_get_contents( 'hooks/filters.json' );

// Convert hooks to PHP:
$actions = json_decode( $actions_json, true )['hooks'];
$filters = json_decode( $filters_json, true )['hooks'];

// Search for filters matching a string:
$search = 'permalink';
$results = array_filter( $filters, function( array $hook ) use ( $search ) {
    return ( strpos( $hook['name'], $search ) !== false );
} );

var_dump( $results );

Usage of the Generated Hook Files in JavaScript

// Get hooks as array of objects:
const actions = require('hooks/actions.json').hooks;
const filters = require('hooks/filters.json').hooks;

// Search for actions matching a string:
const search = 'menu';
const results = actions.filter( hook => ( hook.name.match( search ) !== null ) );

console.log(results);
