Routines

Routines are methods that are automatically called by the processor during run time.

During a routine call all instantiated elements featuring the routine’s method are called.

Prefix

It is recommended to establish a naming convention for routines that distinguish them from other methods.

Often packages choose to prefix Routine methods with the word before, on, or after followed by an explanation of the stage of execute.

For example:

Parameter Comments
beforeLoad Execute before object data load
onLoad Execute during object data load
afterLoad Execute after object data loaded
beforeRender Execute before object render
onRender Execute during object render
afterRender Execute after object rendered
