ZapierRestHooks

Rails engine that provides functionality for Zapier REST hooks pattern.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'zapier_rest_hooks'

After you've added ZapierRestHooks to your gemfile, you can install it with:

rails generate zapier_rest_hooks:install

The generator will mount ZapierRestHooks in your config/routes.rb at the path /hooks.

Now run rake db:migrate

Usage

By adding ZapierRestHooks engine to your Rails app, you will have access to ZapierRestHooks::Hook model. This model maps the Hook object described on Zapier REST Hooks pattern.

Here's an example on how you can integrate hooks into your existing models.

Note:

This is simple example, in real life you should wrap ZapierRestHooks::Hook.trigger inside a Job.

A hook can be scoped to an owner. By default it's nil but you can specify it if you need it.

class Candidate < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Relations
  belongs_to :organization

  # Callbacks
  after_create :trigger_hooks_with_owner, if: :organization
  after_create :trigger_hooks_without_owner, unless: :organization

  private

  def trigger_hooks_with_owner
    return unless ZapierRestHooks::Hook.hooks_exist?('new_candidate', organization)
    # Scoped event.
    ZapierRestHooks::Hook.trigger('new_candidate', self.to_json, organization)
  end

  def trigger_hooks_without_owner
    return unless ZapierRestHooks::Hook.hooks_exist?('new_candidate')
    # Global event.
    ZapierRestHooks::Hook.trigger('new_candidate', self.to_json)
  end
end
