Feature request: 'ready' hook

[BrianHenryIE]

Action Scheduler documentation is telling me to hook to WordPress's init to use its functions.

If I do this and then disable Action Scheduler plugin, there will be errors when I call the missing functions.

For now I'll use

if( ! function_exists( 'as_next_scheduled_action' ) ) {
    return;
}

but a neater way would be for Action Scheduler to fire its own init, then I can hook to that and be sure the functions will exist.

So something like this inside Action Scheduler:

add_action( 'init', function() { do_action( 'actionshecduler_init' ); }, 1 );

I searched the code for all do_actions and didn't find any that suited this idea.

It seems this would be implemented in ActionScheduler::init() with an add_action in the first part of the conditional calling the function with the do_action, and a direct call to that new, one line function in the second.

That sounds like a very reasonable suggestion.

Until then, do also note that as an alternative to checking ! function_exists( 'as_next_scheduled_action' ) you could instead do things this way within your callback:

if ( ! ActionScheduler::is_initialized() ) {
	return;
}

Both work, this is just the more specific test.
