actionAjaxDieBefore hook visible on 1.7?

[Tu Chu]

Hi all,

I found some documents about actionAjaxDieBefore hook. In DevDocs, I saw it deprecated since 1.6.1.1 (https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/hooks/list-of-hooks/).
However, in another document, I find it still visible in 1.7 (http://build.prestashop.com/news/new-updated-hooks-1-7-1-0/). Even, in 1.7's code, I saw it in file classes/controller/Controller.php

I can't handle actionAjaxDieBefore hook. However, I can handle ActionAjaxDieCartControllerDisplayAjaxRefreshBefore (actionAjaxDie<ControllerName><Method>Before).

I don't know why actionAjaxDieBefore not work?

This hook does not automatic apply for any controllers.

Prestashop wrote it in controller.php, so if you want use it, you can call it

But it is NOT automatic called for every controller,

Example, you can open file: classes\controller\ProductListingFrontController.php

and see line:  $this->ajaxDie(json_encode($this->getAjaxProductSearchVariables()));

Thanks tdsoft,

Yep, I know, this hook just call in controller which call ajaxDie function. I test it in Cart controller, when increasing or decreasing quantity of to be ordered item on the Cart checkout screen.

But ajaxDie function call this hook:

protected function ajaxDie($value = null, $controller = null, $method = null)
{
    if ($controller === null) {
        $controller = get_class($this);
    }

    if ($method === null) {
        $bt = debug_backtrace();
        $method = $bt[1]['function'];
    }

    /* @deprecated deprecated since 1.6.1.1 */
    Hook::exec('actionAjaxDieBefore', array('controller' => $controller, 'method' => $method, 'value' => $value));

    /**
     * @deprecated deprecated since 1.6.1.1
     * use 'actionAjaxDie'.$controller.$method.'Before' instead
     */
    Hook::exec('actionBeforeAjaxDie'.$controller.$method, array('value' => $value));
    Hook::exec('actionAjaxDie'.$controller.$method.'Before', array('value' => $value));

    die($value);
}
