Usage

In your app's config/bootstrap.php add:

// In config/bootstrap.php
Plugin::load('Webhook', ['autoload' => true, 'route' => true]);

or using cake's console:

bin/cake plugin load -r --autoload Webhook

Configuration:

You will need to insert the event entries into the webhooks and webhook_events table

webhooks table

id	name	status	url	method	description	modified_user_id	modified	created_user_id	created
1	Application A Logout	1	http://domain.application.com/logout	GET	To logout from application A	null	null	1	2017-03-17 03:38:50

webhook_events table

webhook_id	event_key
1	logout

Using JavaScript Webhook

In the ctp file you may have the following event implemented:

// load the javascript file from the plugin
$this->Html->script('Webhook.webhook');

// Webhook url link to the webhook controller
$webhookListUrl = [
    'plugin' => 'Webhook',
    'controller' => 'Webhooks',
    'action' => 'listWebhooks'
];

// You may replace \'logout\', with your event name for example \'login\'
echo $this->Html->link('Logout Link', 'http://someurl.com/logout', ['onclick' => 'Webhook.triggerEvent(\''.Router::url($webhookListUrl).'\', [\'logout\']);']);

Using Backend CakePHP Client Service with Shell

$Webhooks = TableRegistry::get('Webhook.Webhooks');

// Setting the 'username' parameter will replace the url with the username that you have specified
$Webhooks->triggerShell('logout', ['username' => $username]);
