smee v0.2.0

smee, persistent local webhooks

Create a webhook locally which persists between script runs, with no configuration required.

var smee = require('smee');
smee.persistentHook(function (err, hook) {
  console.log('Your webhook URL:', hook.url); // this URL is the same each time the script is run
  hook.on('callback', function (json) {
    console.log('Received webhook:', json);
  });
});

Hook configuration is stored in a local .smeeconf file in your script directory and is different between scripts.

To use as middleware in a permanent server, just move to smee.hook:

var app = express();
app.use('/webhook/', smee.hook(function (json) {
  console.log('Received webhook:', json);
})

Options

If your webhook call is being sent incorrectly from the server (as form or text data), set json: true in the options:

smee.persistentHook({json: true}, function (err, hook) { ... })

The default port is 9009. If this is conflicting, change it by setting port: ... in the options.

Installation

Install localtunnel:

pip install localtunnel

Then:
