# StripeEvent [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/integrallis/stripe_event.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/integrallis/stripe_event) [![Dependency Status](https://gemnasium.com/integrallis/stripe_event.png)](https://gemnasium.com/integrallis/stripe_event) [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/stripe_event.png)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/stripe_event) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/integrallis/stripe_event.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/integrallis/stripe_event) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/integrallis/stripe_event/badge.png)](https://coveralls.io/r/integrallis/stripe_event) StripeEvent is built on the [ActiveSupport::Notifications API](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Notifications.html). Incoming webhook requests are authenticated by [retrieving the event object](https://stripe.com/docs/api?lang=ruby#retrieve_event) from Stripe. Define subscribers to handle specific event types. Subscribers can be a block or an object that responds to `#call`. ## Install ```ruby # Gemfile gem 'stripe_event' ``` ```ruby # config/routes.rb mount StripeEvent::Engine => '/my-chosen-path' # provide a custom path ``` ## Usage ```ruby # config/initializers/stripe.rb Stripe.api_key = ENV['STRIPE_API_KEY'] # Set your api key StripeEvent.configure do |events| events.subscribe 'charge.failed' do |event| # Define subscriber behavior based on the event object event.class #=> Stripe::Event event.type #=> "charge.failed" event.data.object #=> # end events.all do |event| # Handle all event types - logging, etc. end end ``` ### Subscriber objects that respond to #call ```ruby class CustomerCreated def call(event) # Event handling end end class BillingEventLogger def initialize(logger) @logger = logger end def call(event) @logger.info "BILLING:#{event.type}:#{event.id}" end end ``` ```ruby StripeEvent.configure do |events| events.all BillingEventLogger.new(Rails.logger) events.subscribe 'customer.created', CustomerCreated.new end ``` ### Subscribing to a namespace of event types ```ruby StripeEvent.subscribe 'customer.card.' do |event| # Will be triggered for any customer.card.* events end ``` ## Configuration If you have built an application that has multiple Stripe accounts--say, each of your customers has their own--you may want to define your own way of retrieving events from Stripe (e.g. perhaps you want to use the [user_id parameter](https://stripe.com/docs/apps/getting-started#webhooks) from the top level to detect the customer for the event, then grab their specific API key). You can do this: ```ruby StripeEvent.event_retriever = lambda do |params| api_key = Account.find_by!(stripe_user_id: params[:user_id]).api_key Stripe::Event.retrieve(params[:id], api_key) end ``` ```ruby class EventRetriever def call(params) api_key = retrieve_api_key(params[:user_id]) Stripe::Event.retrieve(params[:id], api_key) end def retrieve_api_key(stripe_user_id) Account.find_by!(stripe_user_id: stripe_user_id).api_key rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound # whoops something went wrong - error handling end end StripeEvent.event_retriever = EventRetriever.new ``` ## Without Rails StripeEvent can be used outside of Rails applications as well. Here is a basic Sinatra implementation: ```ruby require 'json' require 'sinatra' require 'stripe_event' Stripe.api_key = ENV['STRIPE_API_KEY'] StripeEvent.subscribe 'charge.failed' do |event| # Look ma, no Rails! end post '/_billing_events' do data = JSON.parse(request.body.read, symbolize_names: true) StripeEvent.instrument(data) 200 end ``` ## Testing Handling webhooks is a critical piece of modern billing systems. Verifying the behavior of StripeEvent subscribers can be done fairly easily by stubbing out the HTTP request used to authenticate the webhook request. Tools like [Webmock](https://github.com/bblimke/webmock) and [VCR](https://github.com/vcr/vcr) work well. [RequestBin](http://requestb.in/) is great for collecting the payloads. For exploratory phases of development, [UltraHook](http://www.ultrahook.com/) and other tools can forward webhook requests directly to localhost. You can check out [test-hooks](https://github.com/invisiblefunnel/test-hooks), an example Rails application to see how to test StripeEvent subscribers with RSpec request specs and Webmock. A quick look: ```ruby # spec/requests/billing_events_spec.rb require 'spec_helper' describe "Billing Events" do def stub_event(fixture_id, status = 200) stub_request(:get, "https://api.stripe.com/v1/events/#{fixture_id}"). to_return(status: status, body: File.read("spec/support/fixtures/#{fixture_id}.json")) end describe "customer.created" do before do stub_event 'evt_customer_created' end it "is successful" do post '/_billing_events', id: 'evt_customer_created' expect(response.code).to eq "200" # Additional expectations... end end end ``` ### Note: 'Test Webhooks' Button on Stripe Dashboard This button sends an example event to your webhook urls, including an `id` of `evt_00000000000000`. To confirm that Stripe sent the webhook, StripeEvent attempts to retrieve the event details from Stripe using the given `id`. In this case the event does not exist and StripeEvent responds with `401 Unauthorized`. Instead of using the 'Test Webhooks' button, trigger webhooks by using the Stripe API or Dashboard to create test payments, customers, etc. ### License [MIT License](https://github.com/integrallis/stripe_event/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
