Development

Use reflex to auto-reload the webhook server when any file changes are detected:

reflex -s go run cmd/example-golang-github-app/main.go

Send an example webhook:

curl -X POST -d '{"hello":"world"}' -H "Content-type: application/json" http://localhost:8000/

Expose the endpoint over the public internet using ngrok:

ngrok http 8000

Alternatively, setup an ngrok configuration file:

tunnels:
  main:
    proto: http
    addr: 8000

And then:

ngrok start main
