Vendure Webhook plugin

Triggers a channel aware webhook based on configured events. Events are specified in vendure-config and webhooks are configured in the database via the admin UI.

1. yarn add vendure-plugin-webhook

Database entity

The plugin adds an entity WebhookPerChannelEntity to your database. Don't forget to run a migration OR synchronize: true if you like living on the edge.

Permission

This plugin adds a custom permission 'SetWebhook' that is needed to set a webhook via the admin interface.

vendure-config.ts

Configure which events should trigger a webhook call in vendure-config.ts. HttpMethod can be POST (empty body) or GET.

import { WebhookPlugin } from 'vendure-plugin-webhook';

plugins: [
  WebhookPlugin.init({
    httpMethod: 'POST',
    delay: 3000, // Optional if you want to wait for more events
    events: [ProductEvent, ProductVariantChannelEvent, ProductVariantEvent],
  }),
];

The delay is optional. Some actions/updates trigger mutliple events, resulting in multiple calls to your webhook. If you want to prevent this, you can set the delay, the plugin will then wait X seconds for more events, before calling your webhook.

Compile admin UI

Run this script once to compile the admin UI. Run with ts-node to compile the admin UI:

import { compileUiExtensions } from '@vendure/ui-devkit/compiler';
import * as path from 'path';
import { WebhookPlugin } from 'vendure-plugin-webhook';

compileUiExtensions({
  outputPath: path.join(__dirname, '__admin-ui'),
  extensions: [WebhookPlugin.ui],
})
  .compile?.()
  .then(() => {
    process.exit(0);
  });

Then, in your vendure-config.ts add

        AdminUiPlugin.init({
            port: 3002,
            app: {
                path: path.join(__dirname, '__admin-ui/dist')
            },
        }),

This will add a formfield for updating the webhook for the current channel under Settings:"
