Build Hooks

You can now define custom build hooks that execute during the build process when deploying to Encore Cloud or building a Docker image via encore build docker.

Two hooks are available:

• prebuild — Runs before the Encore build, but after dependencies are fetched (e.g., npm install)
• postbuild — Runs after the Encore build has finished

This is particularly useful for building dependencies in a monorepo setup. See our guides for Turborepo and Nx.

Configuration

Define hooks in your encore.app file:

{
    "build": {
        "hooks": {
            "prebuild": "my-command",
            "postbuild": "my-command"
        }
    }
}

Hooks can also be specified as an object with custom environment variables:

{
    "build": {
        "hooks": {
            "prebuild": {"command": "my-command", "env": {"MY_VAR": "value"}}
        }
    }
}
