webhook

Package webhook implements middleware for GitHub Webhooks. User provides webhook service object that handles events delivered by GitHub. Webhook handler verifies payload signature delivered along with the event, unmarshals it to corresponding event struct and dispatches control to user service.

Examples

Notify Slack's channel about recent push:

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"

	"github.com/rjeczalik/gh/webhook"
)

var (
	secret  = flag.String("secret", "", "GitHub webhook secret")
	token   = flag.String("token", "", "Slack API token")
	channel = flag.String("channel", "", "Slack channel name")
)

type slack struct{}

func (s slack) Push(e *webhook.PushEvent) {
	const format = "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage?token=%s&channel=%s&text=%s"
	text := url.QueryEscape(fmt.Sprintf("%s pushed to %s", e.Pusher.Email, e.Repository.Name))
	if _, err := http.Get(fmt.Sprintf(format, *token, *channel, text)); err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
	}
}

func main() {
	flag.Parse()
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", webhook.New(*secret, slack{})))
}

Notify HipChat's room about recent push:

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"strings"

	"github.com/rjeczalik/gh/webhook"
)

var (
	secret = flag.String("secret", "", "GitHub webhook secret")
	token  = flag.String("token", "", "HipChat personal API token")
	room   = flag.String("room", "", "HipChat room ID")
)

type hipchat struct{}

func (h hipchat) Push(e *webhook.PushEvent) {
	url := fmt.Sprintf("https://api.hipchat.com/v2/room/%s/notification", *room)
	body := fmt.Sprintf(`{"message":"%s pushed to %s"}`, e.Pusher.Email, e.Repository.Name)
	req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, strings.NewReader(body))
	if err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
		return
	}
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
	req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+*token)
	if _, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req); err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
	}
}

func main() {
	flag.Parse()
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", webhook.New(*secret, hipchat{})))
}

cmd/webhook

Command webhook starts a web server which listens on GitHub's POST requests. The payload of each request is verified against its signature, unmarshalled into corresponding event struct and the applied to the template script provided by a user.

Examples

Notify Slack's channel about recent push:

~ $ cat >slack.tsc <<EOF
> {{with $e := .}}
>   {{if eq $e.Name "push"}}
>     {{with $text := (urlquery (printf "%s pushed to %s" $e.Payload.Pusher.Email $e.Payload.Repository.Name))}}
>     {{with $url := (printf "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage?token=%s&channel=%s&text=%s" $e.Args.Token $e.Args.Channel $text)}}
>       {{exec "curl" "-X" "GET" $url}}
>     {{end}}
>     {{end}}
>   {{end}}
> {{end}}
> EOF

~ $ webhook -secret secret123 slack.tsc -- -token token123 -channel CH123

Notify HipChat's room about recent push:

~ $ cat >hipchat.tsc <<EOF

>   {{if eq $e.Name "push"}}
>     {{with $auth := (printf "authorization: bearer %s" $e.Args.Token)}}
>     {{with $msg := (printf "{\"message_format\": \"text\", \"message\": \"%s pushed to %s\"}" $e.Payload.Pusher.Email $e.Payload.Repository.Name)}}
>     {{with $url := (printf "https://api.hipchat.com/v2/room/%s/notification" $e.Args.Room)}}

~ $ webhook -secret secret123 hipchat.tsc -- -token token123 -room 123

Contributing to the webhook package

Occasionally it may happen that serving webhook may fail with serialization error. Since structs for event payloads are go-generated from either on-line GitHub Developer documentation or real GitHub's requests, they may not contain all fields or have wrong field types. If you notice webhook failures like the following:

Take the following steps to fix the problem:

• restart your webhook command with -dump flag (or wrap your *webhook.Handler with webhook.Dump):

~ $ webhook -dump /tmp -secret secret123 handler.tsc

• redeliver the event, it's going to fail again, but this time it will be dumped to /tmp/pull_request-ef748000-d078-11e4-91b6-77fc544482ea.json file (named after the event and its X-GitHub-Delivery header)
• copy the file to the testdata directory of webhook package and regenerate payloads:

~ $ scp core@remote:/tmp/pull_request-ef748000-d078-11e4-91b6-77fc544482ea.json ~/src/github.com/rjeczalik/gh/webhook/testdata
~ $ go generate github.com/rjeczalik/gh/...
~ $ go test github.com/rjeczalik/gh/...

• if both the go generate and go test succeed, send pull request with modified payload.go and the JSON file
• if either of them fail, re-run them command with -v flag and create issue with original error message and the verbose outputs
