Testing webhooks

Once you've created a webhook and deployed the endpoint, you can test the webhook by using the simple CLI that's bundled with @indent/webhook. You can create a test/config.json file that can be used to send events to your webhook with a given signing secret like this example or the general structure:

{
  "hook": {
    "secret": "...",
    "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" }
  },
  "entries": [
    { "events": [ ... ] },
    {
      "delay": 5000,
      "events": [ ... ]
    }
  ]
}

You can either install the webhook package globally or use npx like this:

npx @indent/webhook -c ./test/config.json https://example.com/api/v1/webhook

Coming soon: an official Indent CLI to make testing webhooks even easier and safer.
