afterFind Hook Update Problem

[atakansn]

@afterFind() 
public static async serveProfilePhotoHook(user: User) { 
  if(!user.profilePhotoPath) { 
   const name = user.fullName.trim().split(' ').map((name: string) => {
     return name.charAt(0) 
   }).join(' ') 

   user.profilePhotoPath = https://ui-avatars.com/api/?name=${encodeURIComponent(name)}&color=7F9CF5&background=EBF4FF

   return 
  } 

  user.profilePhotoPath = await drive.use().getUrl(user.profilePhotoPath) 
}

my problem is that when the user updates any data, user.profilePhotoPath also updates, whereas I just want to present the image to the user asyncly

This hook is invoked every time you use the find method. So if you are updating after using the find method it might update profile photo every time.
Correct me if i am wrong

Hey @atakansn! 👋🏻

Could you explain exactly your needs? It seems to be an XY Problem to me.
