Webhook Integration Panel Documentation
This document provides technical details and code examples for integrating the Webhook Integration Panel module into your application.
1. FastAPI Endpoint Example
Below is an example of a FastAPI endpoint that handles creating new webhooks:
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import Optional, Dict, Any
from pydantic import BaseModel
router = APIRouter()
class WebhookSettings(BaseModel):
url: str
method: str = "POST"
headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None
body: Optional[str] = None # JSON string
is_active: bool = True
query_params: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None
request_timeout: Optional[int] = None
@router.post("/api/webhooks")
async def create_webhook(webhook_data: WebhookSettings):
try:
# Here you would typically save the webhook data to your database or storage
return {"message": "Webhook created successfully", "data": webhook_data}
except Exception as e:
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
2. React UI Component Example
This React component demonstrates a form for adding webhooks:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
interface WebhookConfig {
url: string;
method: string;
headers?: Record<string, string>;
body?: string;
isActive: boolean;
queryParams?: Record<string, string>;
timeout?: number;
}
const WebhookForm = () => {
const [webhookConfig, setWebhookConfig] = useState<WebhookConfig>({
url: '',
method: 'POST',
isActive: true
});
const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
e.preventDefault();
try {
// Implement the POST request to your FastAPI endpoint here
const response = await fetch('/api/webhooks', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(webhookConfig)
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to create webhook');
}
console.log('Webhook created successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
};
const handleChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement>) => {
setWebhookConfig({
...webhookConfig,
[e.target.name]: e.target.value
});
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit} className="space-y-4">
<div>
<label htmlFor="url">URL</label>
<input
type="text"
id="url"
name="url"
value={webhookConfig.url}
onChange={handleChange}
className="w-full p-2 border rounded"
required
/>
</div>
<div>
<label htmlFor="method">HTTP Method</label>
<select
id="method"
name="method"
value={webhookConfig.method}
onChange={handleChange}
className="w-full p-2 border rounded"
>
<option value="GET">GET</option>
<option value="POST">POST</option>
<option value="PUT">PUT</option>
<option value="DELETE">DELETE</option>
</select>
</div>
{webhookConfig.method !== 'GET' && (
<>
<div>
<label htmlFor="headers">Headers (JSON)</label>
<textarea
id="headers"
name="headers"
value={webhookConfig.headers || ''}
onChange={handleChange}
className="w-full p-2 border rounded"
/>
</div>
<div>
<label htmlFor="body">Body (JSON)</label>
<textarea
id="body"
name="body"
value={webhookConfig.body || ''}
onChange={handleChange}
className="w-full p-2 border rounded"
/>
</div>
</>
)}
<button type="submit" className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded">
Save Webhook
</button>
</form>
);
};
export default WebhookForm;
3. Pydantic Data Schema Example
Here’s the Pydantic model defining the webhook configuration:
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional, Dict, Any, Union
class WebhookSettings(BaseModel):
url: str
method: str = "POST"
headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None
body: Optional[Union[str, Dict[str, Any]]] = None # JSON string or dict
is_active: bool = True
query_params: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None
request_timeout: Optional[int] = None
class Config:
json_schema_extra = {
"example": {
"url": "https://third-party-api.com/webhook",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
"body": '{"key": "value"}',
"isActive": True
}
}
4. Usage Notes
- Security: When handling sensitive data in headers or body, ensure proper security measures are in place.
- Error Handling: Implement error handling both on the server and client sides to manage potential issues during webhook configuration.
This documentation provides a foundational setup for integrating webhooks using FastAPI and React with appropriate data models.
