Need a way to hook code into the ContentfulClient pipeline, via events or alternative methods about contentful.net HOT 3 CLOSED

No, I missed it in the docs 😄

from contentful.net.

We actually do have this. Whether or not you like the implementation is another question 😄

What you can do is decorate any method with an [OnDeserialized] attribute and that method will be called as part of the deserialization.

You have these hooks:

[OnSerializing]
[OnSerialized]
[OnDeserializing]
[OnDeserialized]

The methods decorated can optionally take a StreamingContext which is rarely useful, but there for conformity with the rest of the serialization APIs.

So you could have:

 public class Term {

      //Your general awesomeness

     [OnDeserialized]
     internal void DoSomeTransformationsAndResolutionsAndWhatNot(StreaminContext context) {
          //Do what you gotta do!
     }
 }

That said I think the idea of having global events exposed by the ContentfulClient class is definitely interesting and could allow for some nice extension points. I'll add that to my todo, once I've figured out what those events should be 😃

The base class idea is also interesting, but I would like to make as few assumptions about the consuming code as possible, and it'd be easy for me to start assuming (or even requiring) all of your POCOs to inherit from the base. I'd like to avoid that as much as possible, but we'll see...

Let me know what you think of this.
