A webhook testing server for local development, uses express for the web server and ngrok for creating a publicly accessible tunnel.
Using this tool is a 2-step process.
Run the command below to start an express server on port 8080 and tunnel using ngrok:
npx github:hexbioc/webhook-tester
An ngrok URL will be printed to stdout. Use this URL in the next step.
Configure the application that is expected to invoke the webhook with the ngrok URL from the previous
step along with the /webhook endpoint. The complete URL will look something like:
<ngrok-url>/webhook
Example: https://aaaa-000-000-000-000.in.ngrok.io/webhook
Once configured, all POST requests that arrive at this endpoint will be forwarded to the local express
server, and the corresponding request body, headers, and URL parameters for each request will be printed
to stdout.
Note that body parsing will require the Content-Type header to be set to application/json.
