[Folders] Collection Hooks

[robinscholz]

Folders seem like a great addition, especially for something like a Media Library. From what I gather, folders are simply a collection called payload-folders that is written to the DB.

Is there currently any sort of implementation to create hooks for that collection? I’d like to react to a folder name being changed or the folder being deleted.

Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction. If not, consider this a feature request 🙂

// Inject folderAfterChangeHook into the folder collection if folders are enabled
    if (pluginOptions.folders) {
      const existingFoldersConfig =
        typeof config.folders === 'object' && config.folders !== null
          ? config.folders
          : {}

      config = {
        ...config,
        folders: {
          ...existingFoldersConfig,
          collectionOverrides: [
            ...(existingFoldersConfig.collectionOverrides ?? []),
            ({ collection }) => ({
              ...collection,
              hooks: {
                ...collection.hooks,
                afterChange: [
                  ...(collection.hooks?.afterChange ?? []),
                  folderAfterChangeHook,
                ],
              },
            }),
          ],
        },
      }
    }

for anyone wondering about this, this is the solution we found works well.
