When developing custom Shopify apps, I usually use ngrok as a reverse proxy for webhooks integration. Since I always use a free service plan from Ngrok, then the URL address always changes. Here is the sample generated Ngrok URL when running
ngrok http 3000
Generated endpoint
https://73d3-2001-448a-3032-c93e-bc56-f800-e58d-8a98.ngrok-free.app
When we hit ctrl+c and rerun the command, we will get a different new URL.
So what I did was just change the .env file of my Rails project, go to console, and recreate Shopify webhooks.
bundle exec rails c
Shop.first.recreate_webhooks!
And here is the code for recreate_webhooks!
# app/models/shop.rb
def recreate_webhooks!
ShopifyAPI::Webhook.all.each do |webhook|
webhook.destroy
end
ShopifyApp.configuration.webhooks.each do |item|
webhook = ShopifyAPI::Webhook.new(item)
if webhook.save
puts "webhook #{item} created."
else
puts "webhook #{item} failed."
end
end
end
So every time you need to regenerate webhooks, you can just run this method from rails console.
