• Key Concepts: 
  UI controller hook is a feature of the MOB-UIA UI5 Content (SAP Fiori) component that allows developers to extend the functionality of the UI controller. It enables developers to add custom logic to the controller, such as additional validation or data manipulation. This feature is especially useful when developing custom applications or when integrating with other systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the UI controller hook, developers must first create a custom controller and then register it with the UI controller. The custom controller must contain a method called “onBeforeControllerHook” which will be called before the UI controller is executed. This method can contain any custom logic that needs to be executed before the UI controller is executed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the UI controller hook, it is important to remember that any changes made to the UI controller will not be reflected in the application until the application is restarted. Additionally, it is important to ensure that any custom logic added to the onBeforeControllerHook method does not interfere with the existing functionality of the UI controller.
