Blockquote advice in the Extending models section

[summercms]

I'm just trying to setup a method to run some code before the onSave event and want to setup a beforeSave event.

I've got a simple question, which the doc's seems to give the wrong advice.

Link: https://octobercms.com/docs/database/model#extending-models

Extract see the blockquote saying:

Note: Typically the best place to place code is within your plugin registration class boot method as this will be run on every request ensuring that the extensions you make to the model are available everywhere.

I have the following setup:

models
    widgetsBlue.php
    widgetsRed.php
    widgetsGreen.php

Let's say I want to setup a beforeSave event only on the widgetsRed model and the other models I don't want to do anything.

The advice in the doc's suggest to add the event listener to the Plugins.php file under the boot function.

However, I think this would give a poor performance, because I don't want the code to be run on every model request.

Would it not be better to run the code from say, public function __construct() inside the dedicated model file instead or is there another function that should be used.

Want to get clarification and update the doc's to give a clearer bit of info depending on one's goals.

Closing this I just re-read the page and see it would only run on the extact model using something like this:

\Backend\Models\WidgetsRed::extend(function($model) {
    $model->bindEvent('model.beforeSave', function() use ($model) {
        // ...
    });
});
