Laravel webhook allows businesses to send webhooks to their merchants/clients with ease. This package also introduces a
new artisan command to generate a webhook class.

Requirement

Composer v1.0/2.0
Php (7.3 and above)
Laravel (6 and above).

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require bencoderus/laravel-webhook

Setup

Publish basic components. (migrations and configuration files)

php artisan webhook:install

Run migrations

php artisan migrate

Basic usage

Create a new webhook class

php artisan make:webhook PaymentWebhook

Creates a new webhook class in App\Http\Webhooks

You can format your webhook payload like a resource.

public function data(): array
    {
        return [
            'status' => $this->status,
            'amount' => $this->amount,
            'currency' => 'USD',
        ];
    }

Sending a webhook.

$transaction = Transaction::first();

$webhook = new PaymentWebhook($transaction);
$webhook->url('https://httpbin.com')->send();

Sending with an encrypted signature

$transaction = Transaction::first();

$webhook = new PaymentWebhook($transaction);
$webhook->url('https://httpbin.com')
        ->withSignature('x-key', 'value_to_hash')
        ->send();

The default hashing algorithm is sha512 you can change it by passing a different hashing algorithm as the third
parameter for the withSignature method. PHP currently supports over 50 hashing algorithms.

Sending webhooks without using a Queue.
By default, all webhooks are dispatched using a queue to facilitate webhook retrial after failure. You can also send
webhooks without using a Queue by passing false to the send method.

$transaction = Transaction::first();

$webhook = new PaymentWebhook($transaction);
$webhook->URL("https://httpbin.com")->send(false);
