Create an example Google Drive which uses an HTTP endpoint / trigger

[D-K-P]

Overview

HTTP endpoints allow you to subscribe to changes from an API. You can use defineHttpEndpoint to receive webhooks, verify them, and create an HTTP Trigger.

Details:

The task is to create a job example which is triggered by an HTTP Trigger when a change is received from Google Drive.

Reference material:

• Read our HTTP endpoints docs
• Read our SDK reference docs
• Check out our simple Cal.com example. This is a simple implementation.
• Check out our WhatsApp example. This is a more advanced implementation (using respondWith) because WhatsApp sends a verification GET request to confirm before the webhooks can be created. Most APIs don't required this.

Requirements:

• Use the structure of our Cal.com example.
• The example must connect to Google Drive, receive a payload which triggers an HTTP Trigger, and then perform a simple job.

Guidelines:

• The code must use TypeScript
• The job must use an HTTP Trigger
• Create a TypeScript type for the webhook, ideally use types from the official SDK from the API.
• Cast the json to that type using const body = await request.json() as WebhookPayload
• Use native fetch where no official SDK or incompatible auth
• Avoid external packages apart from official SDKs
• Prefer REST over GraphQL - avoid raw queries
• Use a minimal io.runTask() callback - initialise clients and auth in global scope if possible
• Leave clear comments with links to relevant developer docs, API key pages etc.

Required structure:

1. Follow this guide to get the project setup.​

2. Create a new file in the src folder, named to match the API, with '-http-endpoint' at the end (e.g. GitHub would be called github-http-endpoint.ts).​

3. The Trigger.dev client must be defined at the top of the job, with the 'api-reference' id:

const client = new TriggerClient({ id: "api-reference" });

​
4. You must add the Express specific lines to the bottom of the Job file:
​

// These lines can be removed if you don't want to use express
import { createExpressServer } from "@trigger.dev/express";
createExpressServer(client);

​
5. You must add the new script to the package.json file, in this format:
​

"scripts": {
  //..other scripts
  "<api-name>": "nodemon --watch src/<api name>.ts -r tsconfig-paths/register -r dotenv/config src/<api name>.ts"
}

Important

You must test this Job works before submitting your PR, including a video or screenshot of a successful run. This may involve you having to setup accounts with services.
