---

🚀 Why Hook-Engine?

Most webhook implementations suffer from:

• 💥 Poor Error Handling - Silent failures in production
• 🔒 Security Gaps - Missing signature verification
• 📊 No Observability - Lack of monitoring and logging
• 🔁 No Retry Logic - Lost events due to temporary failures
• 🧪 Hard to Test - No development tools or replay capabilities
• 🏗️ Not Scalable - Can't handle multiple providers or high volume

Hook-Engine solves all these problems with a production-ready, enterprise-grade solution.

🎯 Quick Start

Basic Webhook Processing

import express from 'express';
import { receiveWebhook } from 'hook-engine';

const app = express();

// Raw body parser for signature verification
app.use('/webhooks', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }));

app.post('/webhooks/stripe', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        const event = await receiveWebhook(req, {
            source: 'stripe',
            secret: process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
        });
        
        console.log(`✅ Received ${event.type}:`, event.id);
        
        // Your business logic here
        switch (event.type) {
            case 'invoice.payment_succeeded':
                console.log('💰 Payment succeeded!');
                break;
            case 'customer.subscription.created':
                console.log('🎉 New subscription!');
                break;
        }
        
        res.status(200).json({ success: true });
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('❌ Webhook failed:', error.message);
        res.status(400).json({ error: 'Webhook processing failed' });
    }
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('🚀 Webhook server running on port 3000');
});

🔧 Core Features

1. Multiple Webhook Adapters

Handle webhooks from multiple providers in a single application:

import { receiveWebhook, adapters } from 'hook-engine';

const webhookConfigs = {
    stripe: { source: 'stripe', secret: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET },
    github: { source: 'github', secret: process.env.GITHUB_SECRET },
    shopify: { source: 'shopify', secret: process.env.SHOPIFY_SECRET }
};

app.post('/webhooks/:provider', async (req, res) => {
    const provider = req.params.provider;
    const config = webhookConfigs[provider];
    
    if (!config) {
        return res.status(400).json({
            error: `Unsupported provider: ${provider}`,
            supportedProviders: Object.keys(webhookConfigs)
        });
    }
    
    const event = await receiveWebhook(req, config);
    
    // Route to appropriate handler
    switch (provider) {
        case 'stripe':
            await handleStripeEvent(event);
            break;
        case 'github':
            await handleGitHubEvent(event);
            break;
        case 'shopify':
            await handleShopifyEvent(event);
            break;
    }
    
    res.status(200).json({ success: true, provider, eventId: event.id });
});

2. Structured Logging

Enterprise-grade logging with JSON output, multiple transports, and rich metadata:

import { StructuredLogger } from 'hook-engine';

const logger = new StructuredLogger({
    level: 'info',
    format: 'json',
    outputs: [
        {
            type: 'console',
            config: { colorize: true }
        },
        {
            type: 'file',
            config: { 
                filename: './logs/webhooks.log'
            }
        }
    ],
    enableColors: true,
    enableTimestamps: true,
    enableStackTrace: true,
    maxFileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
    maxFiles: 5,
    rotateDaily: true
});

// Webhook-specific logging
logger.webhook({
    level: 'info',
    source: 'stripe',
    operation: 'webhook_processed',
    duration: 150,
    status: 'success',
    metadata: {
        eventType: 'invoice.payment_succeeded',
        eventId: 'evt_123',
        requestId: 'req_456'
    }
});

// Performance logging
logger.performance({
    level: 'info',
    operation: 'payment_processing',
    duration: 200,
    metrics: {
        memoryUsage: process.memoryUsage().heapUsed,
        requestCount: 1
    },
    metadata: { requestId: 'req_456' }
});

// Security logging
logger.security({
    level: 'warn',
    securityEvent: 'invalid_signature',
    source: '192.168.1.100',
    severity: 'medium',
    details: {
        ip: '192.168.1.100',
        userAgent: 'curl/7.68.0',
        endpoint: '/webhooks/stripe',
        reason: 'Invalid webhook signature'
    },
    metadata: { requestId: 'req_456' }
});

3. Security & Reliability Features

Built-in security and reliability features for production environments:

import { SecurityManager, ReliabilityManager } from 'hook-engine';

// Security features
const securityManager = new SecurityManager({
    rateLimiting: {
        windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
        maxRequests: 100
    },
    ipFiltering: {
        allowlist: ['192.168.1.0/24'],
        denylist: ['10.0.0.0/8']
    },
    signatureValidation: {
        enforceSignatures: true,
        allowedClockSkew: 300 // 5 minutes
    }
});

// Reliability features
const reliabilityManager = new ReliabilityManager({
    circuitBreaker: {
        failureThreshold: 5,
        resetTimeout: 60000
    },
    healthChecks: {
        interval: 30000,
        timeout: 5000
    },
    gracefulShutdown: {
        timeout: 30000
    }
});

// Apply middleware
app.use('/webhooks', securityManager.middleware());
app.use('/webhooks', reliabilityManager.middleware());

📊 Monitoring & Observability

Structured Logs

All logs follow a structured JSON format for easy parsing and analysis:

{
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "level": "info",
  "message": "Webhook processed successfully",
  "operation": "webhook_processing",
  "source": "stripe",
  "requestId": "req_1705312200000_abc123",
  "duration": 150,
  "custom": {
    "eventType": "invoice.payment_succeeded",
    "eventId": "evt_123"
  }
}

// Integration with Prometheus
import { register, Counter, Histogram } from 'prom-client';

const webhookCounter = new Counter({
    name: 'webhooks_processed_total',
    help: 'Total number of webhooks processed',
    labelNames: ['provider', 'event_type', 'status']
});

const webhookDuration = new Histogram({
    name: 'webhook_processing_duration_seconds',
    help: 'Webhook processing duration',
    labelNames: ['provider', 'event_type']
});

// Metrics endpoint
app.get('/metrics', (req, res) => {
    res.set('Content-Type', register.contentType);
    res.end(register.metrics());
});
