Laravel Forwarder

A Laravel package to easily handle incoming Forwarder webhooks.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require theaarch64/laravel-forwarder:dev-main

After installing, run the install command to scaffold the necessary files:

php artisan forwarder:install

This command will:

1. Publish the configuration file to config/forwarder.php.
2. Publish the webhook handler action to app/Actions/Forwarder/HandleWebhook.php.
3. Publish and register the ForwarderServiceProvider in your application.

Usage

Handling Webhooks

The package uses an Action class to handle incoming webhooks. After installation, you can find the handler at app/Actions/Forwarder/HandleWebhook.php.

You should modify the handle method in this class to implement your custom logic (e.g., saving the message to the database, forwarding it to Telegram/Slack, etc.).

<?php

namespace App\Actions\Forwarder;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Theaarch\Forwarder\Contracts\HandlesWebhooks;

class HandleWebhook implements HandlesWebhooks
{
    /**
     * Handle a webhook call.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function handle(Request $request): Response
    {
        Log::info('Webhook Received', $request->all());

        // Your logic here...

        return new Response('Webhook Handled', Response::HTTP_OK);
    }
}

Configuration

You can configure the package in config/forwarder.php.

Route Prefix

By default, the webhook route is available at /forwarder/webhook. You can change the prefix in the config or via .env:

FORWARDER_PREFIX=custom-prefix

Middleware

You can add custom middleware to the webhook route in config/forwarder.php:

'middleware' => ['api'],

Security: Webhook Signature Verification

To ensure that the webhook requests are coming from a trusted source, you should configure a webhook secret.

1. Set the secret in your .env file:

   FORWARDER_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-secret-key
   

2. The package will automatically verify the signature included in the request body (sign parameter) using this secret.

If the secret is not set, signature verification is skipped (not recommended for production).

Testing

You can run the tests with:

vendor/bin/pest
