# Feature: Introduce `ModifyJobControllerNewActionViewEvent` in `JobController::newAction()` {#feature-1757757630}

## Description {#description}

`JobController::newAction()` dispatches now the newly introduced PSR-14 event
`FGTCLBAcademicJobsEventModifyJobControllerNewActionViewEvent` providing
following methods:

-   `function getPluginControllerActionContext(): PluginControllerActionAcontext`
    to extbase controller action plugin context data, which can be used to make
    decisions using the event.
-   `function getView(): FluidViewInterface|CoreViewInterface` to retrieve the
    view instance, which can be used to assign additional data, but disallowing to
    replace the instance.

## Impact {#impact}

Implementing a event listener for this event allows attaching additional
variables to the view for the `JobController::newAction()`, for example
to provide additional select field options in case fields are changed,
from text to a select field for example and avoid the need to implement
a custom ViewHelper to retrieve the "select options" within the modified
views.

### Example event listener {#example-event-listener}

**EXT:my_ext/Classes/EventListener/ModifyJobControllerNewActionViewListener.php**

```php
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExt\EventListener;

use FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\Event\ModifyJobControllerNewActionViewEvent;
use TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\View\FluidViewInterface;

final class ModifyJobControllerNewActionViewListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyJobControllerNewActionViewEvent $event): void
    {
        $view = $event->getView();
        if ($view instanceof FluidViewInterface) {
            // Assign additional variable to the view
            $view->assign('myCustomVariable', 'My Custom Value');
        }
    }
}
```
