使用流星收听Webhook服务器端

Question

I've set up a meteor app using iron-router and I want the app to listen to a webhook from another service (basically I'm building an API for other services to use)

So for example, when an external website calls myapp.meteor.com/webhook I want to catch that specific link and parameters and do stuff with the data.

Update: Thanks to a comment I found this: https://github.com/iron-meteor/iron-router/blob/devel/Guide.md#server-routing

Router.route('/webhooks', { where: 'server' })
  .post(function () {
    console.log(this);
    this.response.end('Caught you\n');
    //this.response.status(200).json({text:"Todo added"});
});

I added the above in the /server folder as there is no need to for the front-end server to worry about this like mentioned in the comment. But when I load this using postman POST request, it just returns my HTML for not found . Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

UPDATE I tried what @David said and still I get the template loaded and nothing in the console. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your server route will only run if no client routes also match. I suspect you have a catch-all route which is executing on the client and preventing the server route from running. One solution is to define all of the routes in a common folder like /lib so that you can properly order them. Your routes file could look something like:

• client route 1
• client route 2
• server route 1
• server route 2
• catch-all (not found) route
