What is @octokit/webhooks?

@octokit/webhooks is a Node.js library for handling GitHub webhooks. It provides a simple and efficient way to listen for and respond to GitHub webhook events, making it easier to integrate GitHub with your applications.

What are @octokit/webhooks's main functionalities?

Webhook Event Handling

This feature allows you to handle specific GitHub webhook events, such as 'push'. The code sample demonstrates setting up a webhook listener for 'push' events and starting an HTTP server to listen for incoming webhook requests.

const { Webhooks } = require('@octokit/webhooks');
const webhooks = new Webhooks({ secret: 'mysecret' });

webhooks.on('push', ({ id, name, payload }) => {
  console.log(name, 'event received');
  console.log('Payload:', payload);
});

require('http').createServer(webhooks.middleware).listen(3000);

Webhook Signature Verification

This feature allows you to verify the signature of incoming webhook requests to ensure they are from GitHub. The code sample demonstrates how to verify a webhook signature using a secret.

const { verify } = require('@octokit/webhooks');

const payload = JSON.stringify({ foo: 'bar' });
const signature = 'sha256=abcdef1234567890';
const secret = 'mysecret';

const isValid = verify(secret, payload, signature);
console.log('Signature is valid:', isValid);

Webhook Event Routing

This feature allows you to route different webhook events to specific handlers. The code sample demonstrates setting up a general event handler for all events and a specific handler for 'issues.opened' events.

const { Webhooks } = require('@octokit/webhooks');
const webhooks = new Webhooks({ secret: 'mysecret' });

webhooks.on('*', ({ id, name, payload }) => {
  console.log(`Received event: ${name}`);
});

webhooks.on('issues.opened', ({ id, name, payload }) => {
  console.log('Issue opened:', payload.issue.title);
});

require('http').createServer(webhooks.middleware).listen(3000);
