Trigger Craft CMS 3 Plugin
==========================

[](#trigger-craft-cms-3-plugin)

#### Kick off static deployments only when you need to.

[](#kick-off-static-deployments-only-when-you-need-to)

---

**As of v2.3.1, the first-party [Webhooks plugin](https://github.com/craftcms/webhooks) supports debouncing requests. You may want to give that a look first!**

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

A simple plugin to kick off builds asynchronously, ideal for something like a headless [GatsbyJS](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/) or [Gridsome](https://gridsome.org/) frontend deployed to [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) or [Zeit](https://zeit.co/). Use it to add a glorified build buton, or tie it to cron so that changes are grouped and pushed on whatever schedule you define.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Quick setup for publishing changes immediately, or collecting them for routine checks via cron: [![control panel settings sreenshot](resources/settings.png)](resources/settings.png)

Dashboard widget for instant deploys: [![control panel settings](resources/widget.png)](resources/widget.png)

Run checks or trigger deploys from the command line:

```
trigger/deploy/check  # Triggers a build if changes are pending.
trigger/deploy/go     # Immediately triggers a deploy build.
trigger/deploy/cancel # Cancels pending changes.
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

1. Require with `composer require workingconcept/craft-trigger`, then install via CLI or control panel.
2. Visit Settings, set your deploy webhook URL.
3. To batch changes for deploy, add a cron job to run `craft trigger/deploy/check`, which post to your webhook URL only if changes are pending.
4. Optionally add the Dashboard widget to your layout for quick one-click builds.

How it Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Saving, reordering, deleting and restoring Elements will either trigger a build or switch on a `pending` flag in the database, depending on the *Deploy on Content Change* setting you chose. Running `craft trigger/deploy/check` or manually triggering a build from the Dashboard or with `trigger/deploy/go` will reset that flag.

Draft edits won't be flagged as changes.

Support

File an issue and I'll try to respond promptly and thoughtfully. This is a free-time project, so I appreciate your patience.
