Override lifecycle of existing content-type with a plugin

Questions and Answers

Hello, I was looking for a solution to override the lifecycle hooks of existing content-type with a plugin. Like I am creating a page content-type inside Strapi (not inside a plugin) and I would like to change the beforeCreate() since a plugin. Is it possible ?

Found the answser

Just go inside ./src/plugins/[plugin-name]/server/index.ts and I did something like

register({ strapi }) {
    const entity = "api::page.page";
    const { lifecycles } = strapi.contentType(entity);
    strapi.contentType(entity).lifecycles = {
      ...lifecycles,
      async beforeUpdate() {
        console.log("hello from plugin");
      },
    };
  },
....

Works fine
