Hook

A hook is an event handler.

In Juju, several frameworks have been used to facilitate charming. Depending on the framework being used, a ‘hook’ can be implemented in different ways:

In the hooks-based framework, they were executable files placed in the /hooks folder of a charm.
In the reactive-framework, they were functions in a single Python file.
In the current, Ops (ops) framework they are code blocks, typically methods of a class that inherits from CharmBase and represents the charm object.

The events have not changed across the various frameworks. Only the way of implementing the hooks handling them has changed.
