10 years ago Hello, just to be sure about your feature request: you want to define hook (non-eve hook), which is called within some method bound to document class, right? In example: you want to call some method before or after every document is saved... OK? If this is true, look at mongoengine signals - http://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.org/guide/signals.html - there is complete list of hooks which mongoengine supports + some howtos. Besides, in eve-mongoengine docs http://eve-mongoengine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features.html#mongoengine-hooks there is a table which describes which method is called with what HTTP method. Well, it seems now you can use only pre_save and post_save hooks (POST and PUT operations), because every other method is unhookable (mongoengine QuerySet does not support it). If you want to use pre_delete and post_delete hook, let me know and maybe I will come up with some solution.
And just a heads up: hooks are defined to work only on one document. Do not expect to work on set of records - i.e. DELETE resource (many documents) is unhookable.

being able to define the document specific event hooks (http://python-eve.org/features.html#event-hooks) inside the document class itself would be cool. is it possible to do that? do you have it in your todo list?
