Hookdeck EventCatalog Generator

Generated the following from a Hookdeck Project:

• Services: based on Hookdeck Sources and Destinations
• Events: based on Hookdeck Requests to Sources and Events sent to Destinations

Run the generator as a CLI

npx @hookdeck/eventcatalog-generator {flags}

Supported flags are:

• log-level: The level to log at - "fatal" | "error" | "warn" | "info" | "debug" | "trace"
• match: Regular expression match for Source names on Connections
• dir: Path the the Event Catalog install directory
• api-key: Hookdeck Project API Key
• max-events: The maximum number of Requests/Events to process per Source/Destination

Example:

npx @hookdeck/eventcatalog-generator \
    --dir ./path/to/eventcatalog/install \
    --api-key {HOOKDECK_API_KEY} \
    --log-level debug \
    --match "stripe-production" \
    --domain Payments \
    --max-events 200

The CLI will also use the following environment variables:

• PROJECT_DIR: Path the the Event Catalog install directory
• HOOKDECK_PROJECT_API_KEY: Hookdeck Project API Key

The environment variables can be within a .env file that will automatically be detected.
