Can you explain your use case in more detail? Do you mean that you have a sidebar that is being displayed through a hook, and you want to replace it? Or that you want to add a content aware sidebar to a hook with custom code?

I’d like to swap sidebar with particular conditions that Content Aware Sidebars doesn’t handle.
Is there a hook to swap sidebar for Content Aware Sidebars?
Or Should I just do that with native WP hook?
Content Aware Sidebars should be able to replace or merge with any widget area that is registered in WordPress.
https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/register_sidebar/
It shouldn’t matter how they’re called/displayed, but if you want granular control over the content aware sidebars being fetched, you can use:
WPCACore::get_posts('sidebar');
Widgets are generally stored in the global variable $_wp_sidebars_widgets, so you can do something like this:
global $_wp_sidebars_widgets;
$sidebars = WPCACore::get_posts('sidebar');
$prefix = 'ca-sidebar-';
foreach($sidebars as $sidebar) {
if(isset($_wp_sidebars_widgets[$prefix.$sidebar->ID])) {
swap widgets...
}
}
I highly recommend that you use the dynamic_sidebar function instead though, and then let Content Aware Sidebars replace it automatically.

Thank you.
Yes my theme is using dynamic_sidebar.
I’ll take a look at WPCACore::get_posts(‘sidebar’); and $_wp_sidebars_widgets
what I’ve found native wp hook can do I want is dynamic_sidebar_params()
This swaps sidebar depend on cookie.
function my_sidebar_params($params){
if(!is_admin() &&preg_match("/footer-([0-9])/",$params[0]['id'],$rgx) && !empty($_COOKIE['translator-translator-jquery-to'])){
$sdid='footer-'.$rgx[1].'-2';
global $wp_registered_sidebars,$wp_registered_widgets;
$sidebar = $wp_registered_sidebars[$sdid];
$sidebars_widgets = wp_get_sidebars_widgets();
foreach((array)$sidebars_widgets[$sdid] as $id){
if(!isset($wp_registered_widgets[$id])) continue;
$params = array_merge( array( array_merge( $sidebar, array('widget_id' => $id, 'widget_name' => $wp_registered_widgets[$id]['name']) ) ), (array) $wp_registered_widgets[$id]['params'] );
$classname_ = '';
foreach((array) $wp_registered_widgets[$id]['classname'] as $cn){
if(is_string($cn)) $classname_ .= '_' . $cn;
elseif (is_object($cn)) $classname_ .= '_' . get_class($cn);
} $classname_ = ltrim($classname_, '_');
$params[0]['before_widget'] = sprintf($params[0]['before_widget'], $id, $classname_);
}
}
return $params;
}
add_filter('dynamic_sidebar_params','my_sidebar_params');
