Allow classes that extend Timber\Post to run code on object instantiation

[herrschuessler]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Since #2088, post classes that extend Timber\Post cannot overwrite the constructor, thus making it impossible to run additional code when a new class object is created.

Describe the solution you’d like

I'd like to be able to overwrite a class method that runs on instantiation, so that I can add own init code.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Not sure if there's already a way to do this.

Additional context

How about overriding build method? This is where you can put you place your custom code.

Thanks, that worked, I used the following method in my child class:

public static function build( WP_Post $wp_post ): self {
  $post = parent::build( $wp_post );
  
  // Do stuff with $post...
  
  return $post;
}
