Events

You can listen to events and add additional functionality like this:

use craft\base\Event;
use rias\ssg\SSG;
use rias\ssg\events\BeforeGeneratingEvent;

Event::on(
    SSG::class,
    SSG::EVENT_BEFORE_GENERATING,
    function (BeforeGeneratingEvent $event) {
        // Your code here
    }
);
