```

## Features

## Example Usage

```js
var hooks = require('protoype-hooks');

var Creature = function (opts) {
this.name = opts.name;
};

Creature.prototype.talk = function (data, cb) {
cb(null, this.name + ' says ' + data.text);
};

hooks(Creature);

var larry = new Creature({ name: "Larry" });

larry.before('talk', function(data, next) {
data.text = data.text + "!";
next(null, data);
});

larry.after('talk', function(text, next) {
text = text + ' ... ';
next(null, text);
});

larry.talk({ text: 'hi'}, function (err, result){
console.log(err, result);
// outputs: 'Larry says hi! ... '
})

```
