How to add Drupal hook in developer portal to call external rest api on app registration

[#1]

I want to call a rest service exposed from my system to register the application related information in my system when a developer registers an app in developer portal.

Can this be doable using a drupal hook?

Is it available in free cloud version?

Dear @Gayan Shyamal ,

Yes, It's available in free cloud version. You can find details regarding same in 'devconnect_developer_apps' module "devconnect_developer_apps.api.php" file. Below are the hooks that you can use to call your rest service.

/**
 * Alter, augment or take other action right before a dev app is saved.
 *
 * If you do something to the developer_app entity in an implementation of this
 * hook such as deleting it, you should return FALSE here.
 *
 * @param $form_state (array)
 *   consists of $form_state from devconnect_developer_apps_edit_form
 * @return bool
 *   If the boolean value of FALSE is returned, further processing in saving the
 *   developer app is aborted. Any other value (including NULL, zero or the
 *   empty string) will allow save to continue.
 */
function hook_devconnect_developer_app_presave(array &$form_state) {
  $form_state['values']['attribute_drupal_uid'] = $form_state['values']['uid'];
  return TRUE;
}


/**
 * Take some action right after a developer app is saved.
 *
 * If you do something to the developer_app entity in an implementation of this
 * hook such as deleting it, you should return FALSE here.
 *
 * @param $results (associative array returned from KMS)
 * @param $form_state (array)
 *   consists of $form_state from devconnect_developer_apps_edit_form.
 *   $form_state['storage']['entity'] holds the developer_app entity.
 * @return bool
 *   If any value other than FALSE is returned (including NULL or no value at
 *   all), further processing in saving the developer app is aborted.
 */
function hook_devconnect_developer_app_save(array $results, array &$form_state) {
  $form_state['redirect'] = '<front>';
  return TRUE;
}

Thanks Anil.

Is this done using the Pantheon Dashboard? I can't see any other means to find this devconnect_developer_apps.api.php file.

I still dont have access to the Pantheon Dashboard

Best regards

Hi @Gayan Shyamal

Please feel free to raise a request with Apigee support, they should be able to help with the access to your instance.

Hi @Gayan Shyamal

Welcome to Apigee Community.

We do have hooks before & after the app is being created.

/**
 * Alter, augment or take other action right before a dev app is saved.
 *
 * If you do something to the developer_app entity in an implementation of this
 * hook such as deleting it, you should return FALSE here.
 *
 * @param $form_state (array)
 *   consists of $form_state from devconnect_developer_apps_edit_form
 * @return bool
 *   If the boolean value of FALSE is returned, further processing in saving the
 *   developer app is aborted. Any other value (including NULL, zero or the
 *   empty string) will allow save to continue.
 */
function hook_devconnect_developer_app_presave(array &$form_state) {
  $form_state['values']['attribute_drupal_uid'] = $form_state['values']['uid'];
  return TRUE;
}

Please take a look at the above hooks, you should be good to extend them in your custom module.
