Payload Hooks

Description

Hooks are the points where you add your own logic to Payload CMS. Ten PDF lessons start with the basics and setting up a first hook, then cover collection hooks for business data, global hooks for application logic and field hooks for data validation.

Further lessons show how to automate workflows with hooks, connect to external APIs, handle errors and debug, and improve performance. The final lesson looks at real-world business use cases. After reading, you will understand which type of hook suits which task and how to structure your own. Checklists and exercises are included.

Who it is for: developers who already use Payload CMS and want to customize its behavior with hooks.
