I want when the records inside the Order Collection change the order status from pending to approval, the quantity of goods in the Inventory Collection will automatically be deducted. I’ve got collections built using the UI admin panel.

You normally do that via bootstrap function by placing a db lifecycle subscriber

I saw a guys this code;

register({ strapi }) {
const entity = “api::page.page”;
const { lifecycles } = strapi.contentType(entity);
strapi.contentType(entity).lifecycles = {
…lifecycles,
async beforeUpdate() {
console.log(“hello from plugin”);
},
};
},
…
So this is still working but hard, right?
:rofl:

The bootstrap is a better place

And normally you do that via:
strapi.db.lifecycles.subscribe

So can I write this business logic into a separate plugin? no need to write inside the api anymore?
