Data hooks run code before or after certain interactions with your site's collections. A data hook allows you to intercept the interaction immediately before or immediately after it occurs. The hook's code can even be used to affect the interaction itself. For example, you may want to intercept an item before it is added to your collection to perform a final validation or to tweak the data that actually makes it into the collection.
Note: Data hooks run on the server. This means that any logs your code produces do not appear in the Developer Console in Preview mode. Instead, use the built-in Wix Logs tool to see your logs.
In general, hooks are run whether the interaction with your collection is initiated by a page element or programmatically using the Data API. However, a Data API call from the backend code of your site may pass the optional WixDataOptions object and use it to suppress hooks from being called on that particular interaction.
See Using Data Hooks to find out how to register hooks on your collections.
There are a number of different points in the lifecycle of a data interaction that you can hook into. Different hooks receive different arguments and return different values. For more information, see the Data API reference.
