Implement multiple webhooks into your Laravel app using the Laravel Event system.
A webhook is a method of altering the behavior of a web application, with custom callbacks.
These callbacks may be managed by third-party users and developers who may not necessarily
be affiliated with the originating application.
php artisan hook:add http://www.myapp.com/hooks/ '\App\Events\PodcastWasPurchased'
php artisan hook:add http://www.myapp.com/hooks/ 'eloquent.saved: \App\User'
Webhook::create([
"url" => Input::get("url"),
"event" => "\\App\\Events\\MyEvent",
"tenant_id" => Auth::id()
]);
In order to add CaptainHook to your project, just add
"mpociot/captainhook": "~2.0"
to your composer.json
's require
block. Then run composer install
or composer update
.
Or run composer require mpociot/captainhook
if you prefer that.
Then in your config/app.php
add
Mpociot\CaptainHook\CaptainHookServiceProvider::class
to the providers
array.
Publish and run the migration to create the "webhooks" table that will hold all installed webhooks.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mpociot\CaptainHook\CaptainHookServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate
## Usage
The CaptainHook service provider listens for any eloquent.*
events.
If the package finds a configured webhook for an event, it will make a POST
request to the specified URL.
Webhook data is sent as JSON in the POST request body. The full event object is included and can be used directly, after parsing the JSON body.
Example
Let's say you want to have a webhook that gets called every time your User model gets updated.
The event that gets called from Laravel will be:
eloquent.updated: \App\User
So this will be the event you want to listen for.
### Add new webhooksIf you know which event you want to listen to, you can add a new webhook by using the hook:add
artisan command.
This command takes two arguments:
eloquent.*
events, or one of your custom events.php artisan hook:add http://www.myapp.com/hook/ 'eloquent.saved: \App\User'
You can also add multiple webhooks for the same event, as all configured webhooks will get called asynchronously.
### Delete existing webhooksTo remove an existing webhook from the system, use the hook:delete
command. This command takes the webhook ID as an argument.
php artisan hook:delete 2
### List all active webhooks
To list all existing webhooks, use the hook:list
command.
It will output all configured webhooks in a table.
### SparkInstall this package like stated in the Installation section, then follow the Spark installation instructions.
### Custom event listenersAll listeners are defined in the config file located at config/captain_hook.php
.
To receive the event data in your configured webhook, use:
// Retrieve the request's body and parse it as JSON
$input = @file_get_contents("php://input");
$event_json = json_decode($input);
// Do something with $event_json
### Webhook logging
Starting with version 2.0, this package allows you to log the payload and response of the triggered webhooks.
NOTE: A non-blocking queue driver (not
sync
) is highly recommended. Otherwise your application will need to wait for the webhook execution.
You can configure how many logs will be saved per webhook (Default 50).
This value can be modified in the configuration file config/captain_hook.php
.
Sometimes you don't want to use system wide webhooks, but rather want them scoped to a specific "tenant". This could be bound to a user or a team.
The webhook table has a field tenant_id
for this purpose.
So if you want your users to be able to add their own webhooks, you won't use the artisan commands to add webhooks to the database,
but add them on your own.
To add a webhook that is scoped to the current user, you could do for example:
Webhook::create([
"url" => Input::get("url"),
"event" => "\\App\\Events\\MyEvent",
"tenant_id" => Auth::id()
]);
Now when you fire this event, you want to call the webhook only for the currently logged in user.
In order to filter the webhooks, modify the filter
configuration value in the config/captain_hook.php
file.
This filter is a Laravel collection filter.
To return only the webhooks for the currently logged in user, it might look like this:
'filter' => function( $webhook ){
return $webhook->tenant_id == Auth::id();
},
