Contentstack Webhook Listener

Contentstack DataSync lets you sync your Contentstack data with your database, enabling you to save data locally and serve content directly from your database. It is a combination of four powerful modules that is DataSync Webhook Listener, DataSync Manager, DataSync Asset Store Filesystem, DataSync Content Store — Filesystem and MongoDB.

The Contentstack Webhook Listener is an HTTP web server used to notify the module when a webhook is triggered. As soon as the webhook is triggered, the data synchronization process begins by notifying the specific module, that is, DataSync Manager.

Prerequisite

Node.js 8+

Usage

import * as listener from '@contentstack/wehbook-listener';

// Function which will get called when webhook triggered
let notify: function (data) {
     
}

register(notify)

// Start listener 
start({
	listener:{
		endpoint: '/register',
		basic_auth:{
			user:"admin",
			pass: "admin"
		}
	}	
})
