The gist is that this is housing Rail's specific logic for handling Captain responses and submissions in a Rails project.

Main core feature is the ability to subscribe / explicitly listen for Webhooks that a developer would like to handle in a specific manner.

I.E. If a Webhook comes back for an IP or Content analysis. A developer may want to allow specific class handlers to manage / analyze these pieces of information differently and directed to other parts of the application.

(AKA: Single Responsibility Rule)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "the_captain_rails"

Ensure we mount the controller path to handle requests.

/config/routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  mount TheCaptain::Events::Engine => "/captain/events"
  # ....
end

Your webhook endpoint will look something like http://[HOST]/captain/events

/config/initializer/the_captain.rb

TheCaptain::Event.configure do |config|
  config.subscribe("user:suspended") { |event| ... }
  
  # Alternatively you can also define a class that contains a `call/1` method
   config.subscribe("user:suspended", AccountManagment::Abuse.new)
   
   # If you wish for all events to pass through a single entry point or you want to log something about any webhook 
   # passthrough
   config.all { |event| ... }
   
    # [again] Alternatively you can also define a class that contains a `call/1` method
   config.all WebhookManager.new
end

Be default the .subscribe/2 method will listen and attempt to parse which Kit Name triggered the given webhook.

You can modify the listening key by configuring the .event_key_filter/1

TheCaptain::Event.configure do |config|
  config.event_key_filter = proc { |event| event.[some_key_value_in_response] }
  config.subscribe([modified_filer_key_result]) { |event| }
end

You can also reject or accept events by modifying the .event_filter/1

Note: If the filter does not return an event. The all listener will not be triggered.

TheCaptain::Event.configure do |config|
  # If the event's decision id is 1000, then ignore it (i.e.: don't return the event)
  config.event_filter = proc { |event| event unless event.decision.id == 1000 }
end
