Routines¶
Routines are methods that are automatically called by the processor during run time.
During a routine call all instantiated elements featuring the routine’s method are called.
Prefix¶
It is recommended to establish a naming convention for routines that distinguish them from other methods.
Often packages choose to prefix Routine methods with the word before,
on, or after followed by an explanation of the stage of execute.
For example:
| Parameter | Comments |
|---|---|
beforeLoad |
Execute before object data load |
onLoad |
Execute during object data load |
afterLoad |
Execute after object data loaded |
beforeRender |
Execute before object render |
onRender |
Execute during object render |
afterRender |
Execute after object rendered |
