<h2 id="titlesection-basicusage" class="documentation-title">Introduction</h2>
<p>
DolibarrContext is a secure global JavaScript context for Dolibarr.
It provides a single global object <code>window.Dolibarr</code>, which cannot be replaced.
It allows defining non-replaceable tools and managing hooks/events in a modular and secure way.
</p>
<p>
This system is designed to provide long-term flexibility and maintainability. You can define reusable tools
that encapsulate functionality such as standardized AJAX requests and responses, ensuring consistent data handling across Dolibarr modules.
For example, tools can be created to wrap API calls and automatically process returned data in a uniform format,
reducing repetitive code and preventing errors.
</p>
<p>
Beyond DOM-based events, DolibarrContext allows monitoring and reacting to business events using a
hook-like mechanism. For instance, you can listen to events such as
<code>Dolibarr.on('addline:load:productPricesList', function(data) { ... });</code>
without relying on DOM changes. This enables creating logic that reacts directly to application state changes.
</p>
<p>
Similarly, you can define tools that act as global helpers, like <code>Dolibarr.tools.setEventMessage()</code>.
This tool can display notifications (similar to PHP's <code>setEventMessage()</code> in Dolibarr),
initially using jNotify or any other library. In the future, the underlying library can change without affecting
the way modules or external code call this tool, maintaining compatibility and reducing maintenance.
</p>
<p>
In summary, DolibarrContext provides a secure, extensible foundation for adding tools, monitoring business events,
and standardizing interactions across Dolibarr's frontend modules.

<h2 id="titlesection-console-help" class="documentation-title">Console help</h2>
<p>
Open your browser console with <code>F12</code> to view the available commands.<br/>
If the help does not appear automatically, type <code>Dolibarr.tools.showConsoleHelp();</code> in the console to display it.
</p>

<div class="documentation-section">
<h2 class="documentation-title">Dolibarr.log() and debugMode()</h2>
<p>
<code>Dolibarr.log()</code> is a lightweight logging utility provided by the Dolibarr JS context.
It does <strong>not</strong> replace <code>console.log()</code>, but it gives an important advantage:
you can enable or disable all logs globally using <code>Dolibarr.debugMode()</code>.
</p>
<h3>Why use Dolibarr.log() instead of console.log()?</h3>
<ul>
<li>You can enable or disable logging dynamically from the browser console.</li>
<li>Avoid polluting the console for end-users: logs appear only when debug mode is enabled.</li>
<li>Ideal for module development: switch between quiet mode and verbose mode instantly.</li>
<li>Useful in production debugging: you can activate logs without modifying any code.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>
When <code>debugMode</code> is disabled (default state), calls to <code>Dolibarr.log()</code> do nothing.
When enabled, <code>Dolibarr.log()</code> behaves like <code>console.log()</code>.
</p>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' // Log something (will only appear if debug mode is ON)',
' Dolibarr.log("My debug message");',
'',
' // Enable verbose logs',
' Dolibarr.debugMode(true);',
'',
' // Disable logs again',
' Dolibarr.debugMode(false);',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php');
?>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>console.log()</code> → always prints messages, noisy, not controllable, but useful during active development and debugging.</li>
<li><code>Dolibarr.log()</code> → prints messages only when debug mode is ON; fully controllable. Ideal for Dolibarr core logs or when you want to keep logs available but silent in production.</li>
<li><code>Dolibarr.debugMode(true)</code> → enable verbose logs, activating <code>Dolibarr.log()</code> output.</li>
<li><code>Dolibarr.debugMode(false)</code> → disable all <code>Dolibarr.log()</code> output, silencing debug messages.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="titlesection-hooks" class="documentation-title">JS Dolibarr hooks</h2>
<p>
Dolibarr provides a hook system to allow modules and scripts to communicate with each other
through named events. There are two ways to listen to these events in JS:
<code>Dolibarr.on()</code> and <code>document.addEventListener()</code>.
</p>
<h3>Event listener example</h3>
<p>
You can use <code>Dolibarr.on()</code> to listen to a hook. The main difference with standard
document events is that the callback receives <strong>directly the data object</strong> passed
when the hook is executed, without needing to access <code>e.detail</code>.
</p>
<p>
For backward compatibility and standard DOM integration, the same hook can also be caught
using <code>document.addEventListener()</code>, but in this case the data is inside
<code>e.detail</code> and the event name is prefixed by <code>Dolibarr:</code> so for a hook named A event name is <code>Dolibarr:A</code>
</p>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' // Add a listener to the Dolibarr theEventName event',
' Dolibarr.on(\'theEventName\', function(data) {',
' console.log(\'Dolibarr theEventName\', data);',
' });',
'',
' // But this work too on document',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:theEventName\', function(e) {',
' console.log(\'Dolibarr theEventName\', e.detail);',
' });',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php'); ?>
<h3>Practical usage</h3>
<p>
When Dolibarr is ready (DOM loaded and JS context initialized), you can register your hooks
or trigger them. Both <code>Dolibarr.on()</code> and <code>document.addEventListener()</code>
are valid, but <code>Dolibarr.on()</code> is simpler and more convenient because you get the
data directly.
</p>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:Ready\', function(e) {',
' // the dom is ready and you are sure Dolibarr js context is loaded',
' ...',
' // Do your stuff',
' ...',
'',
' // Add a listener to the yourCustomHookName event with dolibarr.on()',
' Dolibarr.on(\'yourCustomHookName\', function(data) {',
' console.log(\'With Dolibarr.on : data will contain { data01: \'stuff\', data02: \'other stuff\' }\', data);',
' });',
'',
' // Or you can do : Add a listener to the yourCustomHookName document.addEventListener()',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:yourCustomHookName\', function(e) {',
' console.log(\'With document.addEventListener : e.detail will contain { data01: \'stuff\', data02: \'other stuff\' }\', e.detail);',
' });',
'',
' // you can trigger js hooks',
' document.getElementById(\'try-event-yourCustomHookName\').addEventListener(\'click\', function(e) {',
' Dolibarr.executeHook(\'yourCustomHookName\', { data01: \'stuff\', data02: \'other stuff\' })',
' });',
'',
' ...',
' // Do your stuff',
' ...',
' });',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php'); ?>
<div class="documentation-example">
Open your console <code>F12</code> and click on <button class="button" id="try-event-yourCustomHookName">try</button>
<script nonce="<?php print getNonce() ?>" >
document.addEventListener('Dolibarr:Ready', function(e) {
// the dom is ready and you are sure Dolibarr js context is loaded
// Add a listener to the yourCustomHookName event
Dolibarr.on('yourCustomHookName', function(data) {
console.log('With Dolibarr.on : data will contain { data01: stuff, data02: other stuff }', data);
});
document.addEventListener('Dolibarr:yourCustomHookName', function(e) {
console.log('With document.addEventListener : e.detail will contain { data01: stuff, data02: other stuff }', e.detail);
});
document.getElementById('try-event-yourCustomHookName').addEventListener('click', function(e) {

<h2 class="documentation-title">Difference between Dolibarr:Init and Dolibarr:Ready event</h2>
<p>
Dolibarr provides two main initialization events for its JavaScript context: <code>Dolibarr:Init</code> and <code>Dolibarr:Ready</code>.
Understanding their difference is important when developing modules or tools.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Dolibarr:Init</strong> is triggered immediately when the Dolibarr context is created.
This event is intended for:
<ul>
<li>Defining or registering new tools via <code>Dolibarr.defineTool()</code>.</li>
<li>Setting context variables (<code>Dolibarr.setContextVar()</code> / <code>Dolibarr.setContextVars()</code>).</li>
<li>Preparing configuration that must be available before the DOM is fully loaded.</li>
</ul>
It occurs <em>before</em> <code>Dolibarr:Ready</code>, so it is ideal for setup tasks that other tools may depend on.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Dolibarr:Ready</strong> is triggered once the DOM is ready, similar to <code>$(document).ready()</code> in jQuery.
This event is intended for:
<ul>
<li>Running code that interacts with the DOM.</li>
<li>Attaching event listeners to elements on the page.</li>
<li>Executing functionality that requires all tools and context variables to be fully initialized.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In short, use <code>Dolibarr:Init</code> for setting up tools and context variables, and <code>Dolibarr:Ready</code> for code that needs the DOM and fully initialized context.
</p>
<h3>Examples of usage</h3>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' // Example: Dolibarr:Init - define a tool and set context variables early',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:Init\', function(e) {',
' console.log("Init event fired, Dolibarr is initialised and receive context vars a tools");',
' });',
'',
' // Example: Dolibarr:Ready - interact with DOM and use tools',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:Ready\', function(e) {',
' console.log("Ready event fired, DOM is ready");',
'',
'',
' // Attach event listener to a DOM element',
' const btn = document.getElementById("myButton");',
' if(btn) {',
' btn.addEventListener("click", function() {',
' alert("Button clicked! Context value: " + Dolibarr.getContextVar("mySetting"));',
' });',
' }',
' });',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php'); ?>
<p>
In summary:
<ul>
<li><code>Dolibarr:Init</code> → early setup, tools, context variables, configuration.</li>
<li><code>Dolibarr:Ready</code> → DOM is ready, safe to manipulate elements and use tools defined in Init.</li>
</ul>
</p>

<div class="documentation-section">
<h2 id="titlesection-await-hooks" class="documentation-title">Async Hooks (Await Hooks) - sequential execution</h2>
<p>
Dolibarr supports <strong>asynchronous hooks</strong> using <code>Dolibarr.onAwait()</code> and <code>Dolibarr.executeHookAwait()</code>.
These hooks allow you to register functions that execute <em>in sequence</em> and can modify data before passing it to the next hook.
They are useful for complex workflows where multiple modules or scripts need to process or enrich the same data asynchronously.
</p>
<p>
Each hook can optionally specify <code>before</code> or <code>after</code> to control the execution order relative to other hooks.
Every hook registration returns a unique <code>id</code>, which can be used to reference or unregister the hook later.
</p>
<p>
Unlike standard synchronous hooks registered with <code>Dolibarr.on()</code>, await hooks return a <code>Promise</code> when executed.
This means you can <code>await</code> their results in your code, and any asynchronous operations inside a hook (e.g., API calls, timers) will be handled correctly before moving to the next hook.

<h2 id="titlesection-dom-initnewcontent" class="documentation-title">
initNewContent event system
</h2>
<p>
The <strong>initNewContent</strong> event is a standardized Dolibarr mechanism
to re-initialize UI components on dynamically added content.
Use it whenever you inject new DOM elements via AJAX, templates, or other dynamic updates.
</p>
<h3 id="titlesection-usecase-tooltips" class="documentation-title">
Use Case example: Dynamic Tooltips
</h3>
<p>
In a typical Dolibarr page, tooltips are initialized on page load for all elements
that have the class <code>.classfortooltip</code>. This works perfectly for static content.
</p>
<p>
However, when a section of the page is dynamically recreated or loaded via AJAX,
the new elements with <code>.classfortooltip</code> do not automatically have tooltips,
because the initialization script has already run on the initial DOM and is not rerun for the new elements.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>initNewContent</strong> mechanism solves this problem by providing a standardized hook
to re-initialize all interactive components on newly added DOM elements.
Developers can listen to <code>initNewContent</code> and re-run tooltip initialization
(or any other dynamic behavior) only on the new elements or their children, ensuring consistency and avoiding duplication.
</p>
<p>
This approach guarantees that tooltips, dialogs, and other interactive components
remain functional even when content is injected or updated asynchronously.
</p>
<p>
In addition to <code>document.ready</code> or <code>$(document).ready()</code>,
listen to <strong>initNewContent</strong> to ensure that tooltips, dialogs, or other interactive components
are properly initialized on any new DOM fragment added dynamically.
</p>
<div class="documentation-example">

<button class="button" id="try-no-initNewContent">Test without event</button>

<h3 id="titlesection-usecase-tooltips" class="documentation-title">
How to use it
</h3>
<p>
The event handler receives an object with the property <code>targets</code>,
which is an array of DOM elements or jQuery collections to initialize. Each element can be:
</p>
<ul>
<li>a container with child elements to initialize</li>
<li>or a direct element that needs initialization</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example: Trigger initNewContent manually on a container</h4>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script nonce="<?php print getNonce() ?>">',
' document.addEventListener(\'Dolibarr:Ready\', function(e) {',
' /* [... code that dynamically reloads part of the DOM ...] */',
'',
' /**',
' * true: only include the children of each target element',
' * false: include the target elements themselves',
' */',
' const applyToChildrenOnly = true;',
'',
' // Trigger initNewContent manually on a jQuery container',
' Dolibarr.initNewContent($("#myContainer"), applyToChildrenOnly);',
'',
' // Trigger initNewContent manually on a vanilla JS element',
' const element = document.getElementById("myContainer");',
' Dolibarr.initNewContent(element, applyToChildrenOnly);',
' });',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php'); ?>
<p>
Dolibarr provides a custom event system to properly initialize dynamic content.
Always use <strong>initNewContent</strong> when working with AJAX-injected fragments or
dynamically created elements instead of relying solely on jQuery document ready.
</p>
<h4>Example in pure JS style: listening to initNewContent</h4>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script nonce="<?php print getNonce() ?>">',
' Dolibarr.on("initNewContent", ({ targets }) => {',
' targets.forEach(root => {',
'',
' // Array to store all matching dialog elements',
' const dialogs = [];',
'',
' // Include the root element if it matches the selector',
' if (root.matches(".classfortooltiponclicktext")) {',
' dialogs.push(root);',
' }',
'',
' // Add all descendants matching the selector',
' dialogs.push(...root.querySelectorAll(".classfortooltiponclicktext"));',
'',
' // Initialize each dialog element',
' dialogs.forEach(el => {',
' // Your code to initialize the tooltip/dialog or other stuff',

<h3>Protected Tools</h3>
<p>
Once a tool is defined on overwrite false, it cannot be replaced. Attempting to redefine it without overwrite will throw an error:
</p>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' try {',
' Dolibarr.defineTool(\'alertUser\', () => {});',
' } catch (e) {',
' console.error(e.message);',
' }',
'</script>',
);
$documentation->showCode($lines, 'php'); ?>
<h3>Reading Tools</h3>
<p>
You can read the list of available tools using <code>Dolibarr.tools</code>. It returns a frozen copy:
</p>
<?php
$lines = array(
'<script>',
' console.log(Dolibarr.tools);',
' if(Dolibarr.checkToolExist(\'Tool name to check\')){/* ... */}else{/* ... */}; ',
'</script>',
);

<h2 id="titlesection-tool-seteventmessage" class="documentation-title">Set event message tool</h2>
<p>
Instead of calling JNotify directly in your code, use Dolibarrs setEventMessage tool.
Dolibarr provides the configuration option DISABLE_JQUERY_JNOTIFY, which disables the jQuery JNotify system, usually because another notification library will be used instead.
</p>
<p>
If you rely on Dolibarr.tools.setEventMessage(), your code remains compatible even if the underlying notification system changes.
The setEventMessage tool can be replaced internally without requiring any changes in your modules or custom scripts.
</p>
<p>
This means all developers can write features without worrying about frontend compatibility or future library replacements. Enjoy!

<h2 id="titlesection-contextvars" class="documentation-title">Set and use context vars</h2>
<p>
The <strong>Context Vars</strong> system allows you to define and manage variables that are globally accessible within the Dolibarr JavaScript context. These variables can store configuration data, URLs, tokens, user IDs, object references, or any other values needed by your frontend code and tools.
By using context vars, you can:
<ul>
<li>Pass server-side data (from PHP) to JavaScript safely and consistently.</li>
<li>Provide reusable configuration for Dolibarr tools, widgets, or modules without hardcoding values.</li>
<li>Define overridable or non-overridable vars to protect critical values while allowing flexible overrides when necessary.</li>
<li>Use <code>Dolibarr.setContextVar</code> for single values or <code>Dolibarr.setContextVars</code> to pass multiple values at once.</li>
<li>Access these variables anywhere in your code via <code>Dolibarr.getContextVar(key)</code>.</li>
<li>Ensure that all your modules and tools can rely on consistent and up-to-date context information, improving maintainability and interoperability.</li>
</ul>
This system is particularly useful for setting up base URLs, API endpoints, user-specific information, or runtime data that needs to be shared across multiple Dolibarr frontend tools.
