This method allows serializers to return preexec, postexec, and aroundexec (
) hooks in addition to a serializer.
This is useful for graphics device serializers which need a preexec and postexec hook to capture the graphics output.
endpoint_serializer( serializer, preexec_hook = NULL, postexec_hook = NULL, aroundexec_hook = NULL )
Arguments
| serializer | Serializer method to be used. This method should already have its initialization arguments applied. |
|---|---|
| preexec_hook | Function to be run directly before a PlumberEndpoint calls its route method. |
| postexec_hook | Function to be run directly after a PlumberEndpoint calls its route method. |
| aroundexec_hook | Function to be run around a PlumberEndpoint call. Must handle a |
Details
preexec and postexec hooks happened directly before and after a route is executed.
These hooks are specific to a single PlumberEndpoint's route calculation.
