@chec/webhook-verifier v1.0.2

Installation

npm install @chec/webhook-verifier
# or
yarn add @chec/webhook-verifier

Usage

Import verifyWebhook and use it at the start of your handler method. Provide your Chec webhook signing key as the second argument (available in your Chec Dashboard):

import { verifyWebhook } from '@chec/webhook-verifier';

module.exports = function (request) {
    verifyWebhook(request, process.env.CHEC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY);

    // ... continue with your logic
}

The verifyWebhook method signature is:

interface Payload {
    signature?: string,
    created: number,
}

export function verifyWebhook(data: Payload, signingKey: string, maxAgeSeconds: number = 300): void {
    // ...
}

The verifyWebhook method will throw an error if any checks fail:

• The webhook signature is missing, or the signing key is missing
• The webhook signature was invalid
• The request is older than 5 minutes (by default)
