This guide documents the most useful filter hooks available in Composite Products. It is not an exhaustive reference of all available filters and does not include tutorials on how to achieve certain tasks.

We recommend reading Data Structures and Storage and keeping the Functions Reference handy. Take time to familiarize yourself with the plugin architecture and the objects relevant to the hook you want to use.
