wp_get_entity_view_config_hook_name( string $kind, string $name ): string

Since
7.1.0
Source
wp-includes/view-config.php:30
Builds the name of the dynamic filter that provides the view configuration for an entity.

Description

The entity kind and name are embedded in the hook name lowercased, so the hook follows the WordPress convention of lowercase hook names regardless of how the entity identifiers are spelled: the postType/page entity maps to the get_entity_view_config_posttype_page hook.

Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_get_entity_view_config_hook_name() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
10

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 10.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
1

1 place in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost wp_get_entity_view_config_hook_name() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

WhenInstructionsCalls it makes
always10strtolower()

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 10 instructions, 10 executed per call, 0 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
