What is WordPress Hook: add_inline_data
The add_inline_data hook in WordPress is used to add inline data to a script that is enqueued. This allows developers to include additional data directly within a script tag, providing more flexibility and customization options.
Understanding the Hook: add_inline_data
The add_inline_data hook is located within the wp-includes/functions.wp-scripts.php file in WordPress. It is typically used in conjunction with the wp_add_inline_script() function to add inline data to a specific enqueued script.
Hook Parameters (if applicable): add_inline_data
The add_inline_data hook accepts two parameters. The first parameter is the handle of the script to which the inline data will be added. The second parameter is the actual inline data that will be added to the script.
Hook Doesn’t Work: add_inline_data
If the add_inline_data hook doesn’t work as expected, it may be due to incorrect usage of the wp_add_inline_script() function or a mismatch between the script handle and the inline data. It’s important to double-check the parameters and ensure that the hook is being used within the appropriate context.
Best Practices & Usage Notes (if applicable): add_inline_data
When using the add_inline_data hook, it’s important to note that the inline data will be added directly within the script tag, so it should be formatted and structured accordingly. Additionally, it’s best practice to only use this hook when necessary, as adding excessive inline data can impact page load times and performance.
add_inline_data Usage Example: add_inline_data
“`php
function custom_inline_data() {
wp_add_inline_script( ‘custom-script’, ‘var inlineData = { key: “value” };’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘custom_inline_data’ );
“`
In this example, the add_inline_data hook is used to add inline data to a custom script with the handle ‘custom-script’. The inline data is a simple JavaScript object assigned to a variable.
