Custom hooks may be created and invoked in a Slim application. When a custom hook is invoked with applyHook(), it will
invoke all callables assigned to that hook. This is exactly how the Slim application’s default hooks work. In this
example, I apply a custom hook called “my.hook.name”. All callables previously registered for this hook will be invoked.
<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->applyHook('my.hook.name');
When you run the above code, any callables previously assigned to the hook “my.hook.name” will be invoked in order of priority (ascending).
You should register callables to a hook before the hook is applied. Think of it this way: when you invoke the Slim
application’s applyHook() method, you are asking Slim to invoke all callables already registered for that hook name.
