How to listen to Shopify webhook event data with Node.js

listen-for-shopify-webhooks.js

/* eslint-disable no-console */

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const app = express();

/*
Shopify issues a HTTP POST request.
- https://help.shopify.com/api/tutorials/webhooks#receive-webhook
*/
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  extended: true,
}));


/*
In your Shopify store under..

Settings->Notifications

Click "Create a webhook"

- Choose your event
- Leave the format as JSON
- set the URL with your IP address to your server so it's something like http://123.345.11.22:3800/your-path

Then update the path "your-path" below to match, as well as the port number below.
*/
app.post('/your-path', (req, res) => {
  // let Shopify know we received the order details ok
  res.send('OK');

  // the body of the data received
  const theData = req.body;
  console.log(theData);
});

const portToListenOn = 3800;

/*
On your server run

node listen-for-shopify-webhooks.js

*/
app.listen(portToListenOn, () => {
  console.log(`Listening for Shopify webhook event data on port ${portToListenOn}. Started ${new Date().toString()}`);
});

In fact, it seems a good way to listen to every webhook! Thanks!

can you tell me how can i send theData to front end?

Well subscribing to webhooks sends the payload to a server.

Depending on your what you're trying to do, I'd try and get the data directly from the frontend. If they only way the front-end data can get this data is by waiting for the server to receive it, then you could write that data to a database like Firestore, and have your front-end listen for changes to that database.
