README

This a tiny client that allows you to listen to Gitlab webhooks in your Laravel application. You may use the events dispatched and use the data they provide to perform actions in your application.

Webhook types supported:

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require oneduo/laravel-gitlab-webhook-client

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="gitlab-webhook-client-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Webhook route
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may choose to enable the default webhook route provided by
    | the package. If you decide to disable this, you should manually register
    | the route in your application and implement the event dispatching logic
    | within your route.
    |
    | This registers the following route: POST /gitlab-webhook
    |
    | default: true
    */
    'route_enabled' => true,

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Secret Token Middleware
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | You may set the value of the secret token defined in Gitlab.
    | The package will validate all incoming requests against this given token,
    | and reject all unauthorized requests.
    |
    | Set the value to NULL to disable the middleware.
    |
    | default: null
    */
    'secret_token' => env('GITLAB_WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN'),
];

Usage

Setting up Gitlab

To get started, you must first set up a webhook in your Gitlab project.
You may follow the official documentation provided here https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/webhooks.html.

Setting up the webhook url

By default, when the route_enabled config is set to true, the package automatically registers a route to handle all incoming webhook requests.
It is registered as POST /gitlab-webhook and you may inspect your routes using the php artisan route:list command.

Note If you wish to implement your own route, please take a look at the WebhookController to implement a similar logic to dispatch events.

When Gitlab sends a webhook request to your application, the package will dispatch an event based on the type of webhook received.

For instance, if Gitlab sends a merge request webhook, the package will dispatch a MergeRequestEvent event.

You may register your own listener like this:

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event to listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array<class-string, array<int, class-string>>
     */
    protected $listen = [
        MergeRequestEvent::class => [
            MergeRequestEventListener::class,
        ],
    ];
}

All the events are type-hinted to provide easy access to the event attributes and data:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App;

use App\Gitlab\Events\MergeRequestEvent;

class MergeRequestEventListener
{
    public function handle(MergeRequestEvent $event): void
    {
        logger()->info('New merge request event received');
        logger()->info($event->mergeRequest->title);
        logger()->info('By: ' . $event->mergeRequest->last_commit->author->email);
    }
}

Note You may use individual event listeners for each event type or use a single listener that listens to WebhookEventContract that will catch all events dispatched.

Note Please note that some attributes and data is considered nullable, and you must implement the necessary null checks on these values.

Deduplication

Webhook deduplication is not guaranteed by Gitlab. You may use the uuid property on each event to handle deduplication within your application.

Security

Each event exposes the headers provided by Gitlab. You may use the X-Gitlab-Token header to verify the request authenticity against the secret token you have set in your Gitlab project settings.
