While modifying the basket for gift items, which hook is required to run after the basket has been modified?

The correct answer is linked to the fact that the validateBasket hook is specifically designed to execute after modifications have been made to the basket. When working with gift items or any kind of product manipulation in the basket, it’s important to validate the contents ensuring that everything complies with the business rules and constraints prior to being finalized.

This hook runs after the basket has undergone modifications, allowing for checks and validations to ensure that the basket’s state is appropriate before any further processing occurs. For example, it can verify quantities, check for any required fields, or confirm eligibility for promotions associated with the gift items.

The other available options do not serve this specific purpose. modifyGETResponse is used for altering the response generated for GET requests, which does not relate to basket modifications directly. beforePATCH and beforePOST hooks are invoked during the processing of PATCH and POST requests, respectively, to provide custom logic before the basket is updated or created but do not specifically handle or validate the state of the basket after modifications have already taken place.
