README

A working PHP Laravel Package for MyInfo Singapore. With the annoying, time wasting hidden quirks of implementing it in PHP figured out.

Official MyInfo Docs

Will Myinfo v4 be supported?

There is recently an announcement that there will be a new Myinfo version that replaces Myinfo v4.

Therefore, it is not mandatory to upgrade from Myinfo v3 to Myinfo v4 anymore. Which means I will not work on supporting Myinfo v4 unless I am too free (which most likely mean never)

So there is no need to email me to demand it anymore.

Hope everyone is happy with this good news :)

But if you want to make a PR to support Myinfo v4, I will be open to take a look at it

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ziming/laravel-myinfo-sg

Followed by adding the following variables to your .env file.

The values provided below are the ones provided in the official MyInfo nodejs tutorial.

Change them to the values you are given for your app.

MYINFO_APP_CLIENT_ID=STG2-MYINFO-SELF-TEST
MYINFO_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=44d953c796cccebcec9bdc826852857ab412fbe2
MYINFO_APP_REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:3001/callback
MYINFO_APP_PURPOSE="demonstrating MyInfo APIs"
MYINFO_APP_ATTRIBUTES=uinfin,name,sex,race,nationality,dob,email,mobileno,regadd,housingtype,hdbtype,marital,noa-basic,ownerprivate,cpfcontributions,cpfbalances

MYINFO_APP_SIGNATURE_CERT_PRIVATE_KEY=file:///Users/your-username/your-laravel-app/storage/myinfo-ssl/stg-demoapp-client-privatekey-2018.pem
MYINFO_SIGNATURE_CERT_PUBLIC_CERT=file:///Users/your-username/your-laravel-app/storage/myinfo-ssl/staging_myinfo_public_cert.cer

MYINFO_DEBUG_MODE=false

# SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT (no PKI digital signature)
MYINFO_AUTH_LEVEL=L0
MYINFO_API_AUTHORISE=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/authorise
MYINFO_API_TOKEN=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/token
MYINFO_API_PERSON=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/person

# TEST ENVIRONMENT (with PKI digital signature)
#MYINFO_AUTH_LEVEL=L2
#MYINFO_API_AUTHORISE=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/authorise
#MYINFO_API_TOKEN=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/token
#MYINFO_API_PERSON=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/person

# Controller URI Paths. IMPORTANT
MYINFO_CALL_AUTHORISE_API_URL=/redirect-to-singpass
MYINFO_GET_PERSON_DATA_URL=/myinfo-person

Lastly, publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgServiceProvider" --tag="myinfo-sg-config"

You may also wish to publish the MyInfo official nodejs demo app ssl files as well to storage/myinfo-ssl. You should replace these in your production environment.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgServiceProvider" --tag="myinfo-ssl"

Usage and Customisations

When building your button to redirect to SingPass. It should link to route('myinfo.singpass')

After SingPass redirects back to your Callback URI, you should make a post request to route('myinfo.person')

If you prefer to not use the default routes provided you may set enable_default_myinfo_routes to false in config/laravel-myinfo-sg.php and map your own routes. This package controllers will still be accessible as shown in the example below:

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Http\Controllers\CallAuthoriseApiController;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Http\Controllers\GetMyinfoPersonDataController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::post('/go-singpass'), CallAuthoriseApiController::class)
->name('myinfo.singpass')
->middleware('web');

Route::post('/fetch-myinfo-person-data', GetMyinfoPersonDataController::class)
->name('myinfo.person');

During the entire execution, some exceptions may be thrown. If you do not like the format of the json responses. You can customise it by intercepting them in your laravel application app/Exceptions/Handler.php

An example is shown below:

<?php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Exception;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\AccessTokenNotFoundException;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    /**
     * A list of the exception types that are not reported.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontReport = [
        // You may wish to add all the Exceptions thrown by this package. See src/Exceptions folder
    ];

    /**
     * A list of the inputs that are never flashed for validation exceptions.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontFlash = [
        'password',
        'password_confirmation',
    ];

    /**
     * Report or log an exception.
     *
     * @param  \Throwable  $exception
     * @return void
     */
    public function report(\Throwable $exception)
    {
        parent::report($exception);
    }

    /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Throwable  $exception
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function render($request, \Throwable $exception)
    {
        // Example of an override. You may override it via Service Container binding too
        if ($exception instanceof AccessTokenNotFoundException && $request->wantsJson()) {
            return response()->json([
                'message' => 'Access Token is missing'
            ], 404);
        }
        
        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
}

The list of exceptions are as follows

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\AccessTokenNotFoundException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidAccessTokenException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidDataOrSignatureForPersonDataException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidStateException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\MyinfoPersonDataNotFoundException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\SubNotFoundException;

Lastly, if you prefer to write your own controllers, you may make use of LaravelMyinfoSgFacade or LaravelMyinfoSg to generate the authorisation api uri (The redirect to Singpass link) and to fetch MyInfo Person Data. Examples are shown below

<?php

use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgFacade as LaravelMyinfoSg;

// Get the Singpass URI and redirect to there
return redirect(LaravelMyinfoSg::generateAuthoriseApiUrl($state));

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgFacade as LaravelMyinfoSg;

// Get the Myinfo person data in an array with 'data' key
$personData = LaravelMyinfoSg::getMyinfoPersonData($code);

// If you didn't want to return a json response with the person information in the 'data' key. You can do this
return response()->json($personData['data']);

You may also choose to subclass GetMyinfoPersonDataController and override its preResponseHook() template method to do logging or other stuffs before returning the person data.
