[Koha-devel] Koha Plugin Hooks documentation

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

The only thing I can say about actions that are triggered by CRUD
operations, is that we should always try to make them async, so they don't
make Koha slow. On that regard, I wrote a task queue on a plugin I recently
work, so the hooks (in this case on circ operations) only store entries on
the plugin's task queue table [1]. That's one possible approach.

That said, now that we have a real task queue, we could invest some time
making it easy for Koha's task queue to route actions to plugin methods, so
we take advantage of the built-in koha worker(s). So instead of just hooks
that call a method, we could think of plugins that register themselves to
be notified of a list of actions in Koha, and have the worker resolve the
call to the right method.

This last proposal would of course be for 20.11+, for older versions, I
stand with my first approach.

My 2 cents!
