# Method name: afterRemove(item: object, context: HookContext)

# Method package: wixDataHooks

# Method menu location: wixDataHooks --> afterRemove

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/events-service-plugins/data/hooks/wix-data-hooks/after-remove.md

# Method Description:

A hook that is triggered after a `remove()` operation.

The `afterRemove()` hook runs when:

 + The [`remove()`](wix-data.html#remove) function is called.
 + An action is performed on a dataset that removes an item from the collection.
 + An item is deleted using the CMS.


 Return an object or a Promise that resolves to an object. The returned object
 will be used as the result of the call to the [`remove()`](wix-data.html#remove)
 function instead of the actual item removed from the collection. If returning a
 Promise, the object is used as the result, whether the Promise is fulfilled or rejected.

 If the returned value is of the wrong type, the value is ignored.

 A rejected Promise also calls the [`onFailure()`](#onFailure) hook if it has
 been registered.

 Because the `afterRemove()` hook is called after the [`remove()`](wix-data.html#remove)
 is executed, it cannot prevent the item from being removed from the collection.
 It can only affect the item returned by [`remove()`](wix-data.html#remove).



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## An afterRemove hook

```javascript
// In data.js

export function myCollection_afterRemove(item, context) {
  let hookContext = context;  // see below

  // some changes to the removed item

  return item;
}

/*
 * hookContext:
 *
 * {
 *   "collectionName": "myCollection",
 *   "userId":         "f45jf8d2-grkj-2opd-4ovk-9rfj4wo5tvj3",
 *   "userRole":       "siteOwner"
 * }
 */
```

## Change the item returned by `remove()` using an afterRemove hook

```javascript
// In data.js

export function myCollection_afterUpdate(item, context) {
  let hookContext = context;  // see below

  // add a full_name property to the item being returned
  item.full_name = item.first_name + " " + item.last_name;

  return item;
}

/*
 * hookContext:
 *
 * {
 *   "collectionName": "myCollection",
 *   "userId":         "f45jf8d2-grkj-2opd-4ovk-9rfj4wo5tvj3",
 *   "userRole":       "siteOwner"
 * }
 */
```
