- [OnGroupName](#ongroupname)
- [OnListen](#onlisten)
- [OnFork](#onfork)
- [OnShutdown](#onshutdown)
- [OnMount](#onmount)

## Constants
```go
// Handlers define a function to create hooks for Fiber.
type OnRouteHandler = func(Route) error
type OnNameHandler = OnRouteHandler
type OnGroupHandler = func(Group) error
type OnGroupNameHandler = OnGroupHandler
type OnListenHandler = func(ListenData) error
type OnForkHandler = func(int) error
type OnShutdownHandler = func() error
type OnMountHandler = func(*App) error
```

## OnRoute

OnRoute is a hook to execute user functions on each route registeration. Also you can get route properties by **route** parameter.

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnRoute(handler ...OnRouteHandler)
```

## OnName

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnName(handler ...OnNameHandler)
```

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
)

func main() {
	app := fiber.New()

	app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
	}).Name("index")

	app.Hooks().OnName(func(r fiber.Route) error {
		fmt.Print("Name: " + r.Name + ", ")

		return nil
	})

	app.Hooks().OnName(func(r fiber.Route) error {
		fmt.Print("Method: " + r.Method + "\n")

		return nil
	})

	app.Get("/add/user", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
	}).Name("addUser")

	app.Delete("/destroy/user", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
	}).Name("destroyUser")

}

// Results:
// Name: addUser, Method: GET
// Name: destroyUser, Method: DELETE
```

## OnGroup

OnGroup is a hook to execute user functions on each group registeration. Also you can get group properties by **group** parameter.

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnGroup(handler ...OnGroupHandler)
```

:::

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnGroupName(handler ...OnGroupNameHandler)
```

```

<Tabs>
<TabItem value="onlisten-example" label="OnListen Example">

```go
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
  DisableStartupMessage: true,
})

app.Hooks().OnListen(func(listenData fiber.ListenData) error {
  if fiber.IsChild() {
	  return nil
  }
  scheme := "http"
  if data.TLS {
    scheme = "https"
  }
  log.Println(scheme + "://" + listenData.Host + ":" + listenData.Port)
  return nil

## OnFork

OnFork is a hook to execute user functions on Fork.

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnFork(handler ...OnForkHandler)
```

func (h *Hooks) OnShutdown(handler ...OnShutdownHandler)
```

## OnMount

OnMount is a hook to execute user function after mounting process. The mount event is fired when sub-app is mounted on a parent app. The parent app is passed as a parameter. It works for app and group mounting.

```go title="Signature"
func (h *Hooks) OnMount(handler ...OnMountHandler) 
```

<Tabs>
<TabItem value="onmount-example" label="OnMount Example">

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
)

func main() {
	app := New()
	app.Get("/", testSimpleHandler).Name("x")

	subApp := New()
	subApp.Get("/test", testSimpleHandler)

	subApp.Hooks().OnMount(func(parent *fiber.App) error {
		fmt.Print("Mount path of parent app: "+parent.MountPath())
		// ...

		return nil
	})

	app.Mount("/sub", subApp)
}

// Result:
// Mount path of parent app: 
```

</TabItem>
</Tabs>


:::caution
OnName/OnRoute/OnGroup/OnGroupName hooks are mount-sensitive. If you use one of these routes on sub app and you mount it; paths of routes and groups will start with mount prefix.
