Description
Hello!
First Trac submission, so I hope I am in the right place!
Several co-workers and I have a few helper functions we include in our projects, and one of them we use often enough that I thought it might be worth making a ticket for to see if it could be included in core.
Its super straightforward. This is it:
<?php /** * If you have a callback you want to run on multiple actions, pass them here. * * @param array $tags * @param callable $function_to_add * @param int $priority * @param int $accepted_args */ function add_multiple_actions( array $tags, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args = 1 ) { foreach ( $tags as $tag ) { add_action( $tag, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args ); } }
An example of its use case would be something like saving a posts meta where you have a quick anonymous function you want to pass to both the 'new_to_publish' and 'save_post' hooks.
<?php add_multiple_actions( [ 'new_to_publish', 'save_post' ], function ( $post_id ) { // foo, bar }
Of course you could make the callback an actual function and pass its name into multiple "add_action()" calls, but this is just another approach to it.
Thoughts? Ideas? Improvements?
