Updating this for the naming. Should be called beforeRender
.
"also minor side point: I think
beforeRender
is a better name because it's a more conventional name for a lifecycle hook; prerender is a verb; before/after/on are events" - @rmfarrell
Testing this in Amphora now and will post the branch when it's ready.
Idea:
preRender
hook inmodel.js
Purpose: Sets context of request by providing a context specific object which components can attach data to. This would then be passed into the
render
function to basically allow context specific data to be shared across components.Good use case: we want specific ad injection logic defined on the layout level to be respected by an article. A component in the layout contains the specification of the logic, attaches it to
ctx
, and then the article can read it. Also ,maybe some dedupe logic in feeds?Example:
Not settled, but just putting something down.
