node-spark-webhook
Cisco Spark API Web Hook Utility Library for Node JS.
This library parses an incoming Cisco Spark API web hook and emits events based on the content. This library does not interface with the Spark API and is intended to simplify functions around web hook parsing and authenticating HMAC secured web hooks only.
Example: (embedded into an express.js app)
"use strict"; var Webhook = ;var express = ;var bodyParser = ;var path = ; var webhook = ; // add eventswebhook; var app = ;app; // add route for path that which is listening for web hooksapp; // start express servervar server = app;
Install:
npm install --save node-spark-webhook
Initialization / Config
The constructor accepts an optional options
object.
var Webhook = ; var options = secret: 'My HMAC Secret' reqObjProp: 'params'; var webhook = options;
Options Object
secret
: If specified, the incoming web hook will be authenticated before being processed through thewebhook.listen()
function.reqObjProp
: Property of request object where the string or JSON object of the incoming body is parsed to. If not specified, defaults to "body". Some Connect based libraries (Express/Restify/etc) alter this location based on their defaults and which extensions you have enabled. Typically, if not "body", "params" is the request property where the body is passed.
Reference
webhook.listen()
Returns a function with properties req
and res
. When embedded in a connect based web app such as express.js, allows easy processing and validation (including HMAC if secret is specified) of an incoming web hook. Once validated, emits events based on the web hook's resource
value.
webhook.auth(payload, signature, secret [, callback]))
Should you simply need to authenticate a web hook, you can access the auth
function directly.
payload
: request body in JSON or string formatsignature
: HMAC signature retrieved from the 'x-spark-signature' header propertysecret
: The secret used when creating the web hook from the Spark APIcallback
: (optional) If specified executes a callback with properties(err, body)
. If not specified, returns a promise fulfilled with thebody
, or rejected with theerror
.
Events
The library will emit events based on the value of the resource
property of the incoming webhook. For example, to capture a new room membership:
webhook;
Note: The web hooks you receive depend on how you originally created the web hook from the Spark API.
Additionally, a more generic event named "request" is triggered on every validated web hook. This event returns a single property that contains the request body
as an object. For example:
webhook;
