I have a Vue 3 website showing a list fetched from a REST-API (using the fetch method). Then sometimes this list is modified in the original DB and I would like to update my vue component accordingly. The good news is that a webhook is posted to me by the DB service when an entry is modified. However, I do not know how to consume this webhook in my Vue project.

I know how to consume it with an express server with something like

app.post("/hook", (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.body)
}

but I don't see how to connect this with my Vue app ?
Maybe it's not even a good approach.

A client-side app cannot react to a webhook per se.
You will need some kind of polling or socket communication like:

• long polling
• server sent events
• websockets
