$hooks->isHooked() method

Returns true if the method/property hooked, false if it isn't.

This is for optimization use. It does not distinguish about class instance. It only distinguishes about class if you provide a class with the $method argument (i.e. Class::). As a result, a true return value indicates something "might" be hooked, as opposed to be being definitely hooked.

If checking for a hooked method, it should be in the form Class::method() or method() (with parenthesis). If checking for a hooked property, it should be in the form Class::property or property.

If you need to check if a method/property is hooked, including any of its parent classes, use the WireHooks::isMethodHooked(), WireHooks::isPropertyHooked(), or WireHooks::hasHook() methods instead.

Usage

// basic usage
$bool = $hooks->isHooked(string $method);

// usage with all arguments
$bool = $hooks->isHooked(string $method, $instance = null);
