Specify hooks where autopopulate should be triggered #84

Closed angelhodar closed 3 years ago

angelhodar commented 3 years ago

Hey, I just wanted to know if it is possible to specify only a subset of hooks where this plugin should be used. For example, I want this plugin to trigger after creating or updating a resource to return the populated response directly to the client, but I dont want to autopopulate when making a GET request as I already have implemented populate and select from URL query params. This would avoid to manually set { autopopulate : false } for that queries.

Thanks!
