How to use the new Webhook platform?

[xantari]

Motivation

The 0.14.0 aspnet core extensions deprecated the traditional webhooks.

However, this boiler plate does not have an implementation that uses the new webhook infrastructure.

This boiler plate should be updated.

See here for breaking change:
(https://github.com/kontent-ai/aspnetcore-extensions/releases/tag/0.14.0)

Proposed solution

Update this template to use the new webhook functionality.

related to: #111, subject to update or deprecation followed by new sample app implementation

What is the status on this? How should this code here change to use the new webhook model?

Spoke to Micah in Kontent.AI support to get this SDK updated ahead of the Nov 1 2025 Legacy Webhook Shutdown.

modified approach using the updated webhooks functionality has been submitted for review in the related PR, see WebhooksController.cs. it's subject to change before release, but it illustrates a possible approach.

to summarize, cache invalidation should revolve around matching patterns of object_type and action (in either published or preview slot) to invalidate corresponding subset of cache keys.

for example, content_item, publish || unpublish should invalidate the item itself, then query the used-in endpoint to construct and invalidate all dependent items' cache keys as well. actions on taxonomy object type can be used either to purge taxonomy single item and listing queries, or also item caches, e.g. if a taxonomy or its terms are updated/deleted.

the full invalidation strategy depends on individual requirements, the boilerplate showcases only its possible subset.
