## Download webhook definitions and webhook payloads schema

You can download the latest `index.json` and `schema.json` files from
[unpkg](https://unpkg.com/)

- [`index.json`](https://unpkg.com/@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json)
- [`schema.json`](https://unpkg.com/@octokit/webhooks-schemas/schema.json)

## Usage as Node module

To get an array of all webhook definition objects, require the `@octokit/webhooks-examples` package.

```js
// Use Node.js require:
const WEBHOOKS = require("@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json");

// Or ESM/TypeScript import:
import WEBHOOKS from "@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json";
```

To get the JSON schema for webhook payloads, require the `@octokit/webhooks-schemas` package.

```js
// Use Node.js require:
const SCHEMA = require("@octokit/webhooks-schemas");

// Or ESM/TypeScript import:
import SCHEMA from "@octokit/webhooks-schemas";
```

### Usage with `ajv` in `strict` mode

When running in `strict` mode, `ajv` will throw an "unknown keyword" error if it
encounters any keywords that have not been defined.

This schema currently uses custom keywords provided by `ajv-formats`, along with
the custom keyword `tsAdditionalProperties`.

Here is an example of how you can set this up:

```ts
import type { WebhookEvent } from "@octokit/webhooks-types";
import * as githubWebhookSchema from "@octokit/webhooks-schemas";
import Ajv from "ajv";
import addFormats from "ajv-formats";

const ajv = new Ajv({ strict: true });

addFormats(ajv);
ajv.addKeyword("tsAdditionalProperties");

const validate = ajv.compile(githubWebhookSchema);
```

## Importing types

This package ships with types for the webhook events generated from the
respective json schemas, which you can use like so:

```typescript
import { WebhookEvent, IssuesOpenedEvent } from "@octokit/webhooks-types";

const handleWebhookEvent = (event: WebhookEvent) => {
if ("action" in event && event.action === "completed") {
console.log(`${event.sender.login} completed something!`);
}
};

const handleIssuesOpenedEvent = (event: IssuesOpenedEvent) => {
console.log(
`${event.sender.login} opened "${event.issue.title}" on ${event.repository.full_name}`,
);
};
```

**⚠️ Caution ⚠️**: Webhooks Types are expected to be used with the [`strictNullChecks` option](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#strictNullChecks) enabled in your `tsconfig`. If you don't have this option enabled, there's the possibility that you get `never` as the inferred type in some use cases. See [#395](https://github.com/octokit/webhooks/issues/395) for details.

## How it works

This package updates itself using a daily cronjob running on GitHub Actions. The
[`index.json`](index.json) file is generated by
[`bin/octokit-webhooks.mts`](bin/octokit-webhooks.mts). Run
`npm run octokit-webhooks -- --usage` for instructions. After the update is
complete, run `npm run build:webhooks` and `npm run build:schema` to update
`index.json` and `schema.json` files.

The update script is scraping
[GitHub’s Webhooks Event Types & Payloads](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhook-events-and-payloads)
documentation page and extracts the meta information using
[cheerio](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cheerio).

For simpler local testing and tracking of changes all loaded pages are cached in
the [`cache/`](cache/) folder.

## JSON Schema conventions

What conventions are the schemas of this repository following?

This section offers the origin of these conventions and the reasoning behind them.

### `"email"` for `committer.schema.json` treated as a regular `string`

The JSON schema for a committer (`committer.schema.json`) has a property `"email"`, which [originally was using](https://github.com/octokit/webhooks/blob/f2f7ffb6ed4179fe22b1b82b670d536a833d83f6/payload-schemas/api.github.com/common/committer.schema.json#L11) the default `email` format offered by [`ajv-format`](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv-formats/blob/4dd65447575b35d0187c6b125383366969e6267e/src/formats.ts#L65).

What we noticed is [the Regular Expression used by ajv-format for `emails`](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv-formats/blob/4dd65447575b35d0187c6b125383366969e6267e/src/formats.ts#L65) is not accepting emails containing `[` or `]` characters (i.e. `41898282+github-actions`**[**`bot`**]**`@users.noreply.github.com`).

After [considering the option](https://github.com/octokit/webhooks/pull/677) of applying our pattern by extending [`ajv-format` Regular Expression for emails](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv-formats/blob/4dd65447575b35d0187c6b125383366969e6267e/src/formats.ts#L65), we considered not to do that because:

- It is an excellent way to cause more trouble (the size of this Regular Expression alone is enormous even before you think about all the sub-patterns).
- The moment we decide to use our Regular Expression, we are committing to maintaining it, so if someone else comes along and presents another email that is considered invalid by this pattern but works with git, we will need to safely modify the pattern again to cover that in addition to what we currently consider valid.
- If we want to be accurate, we should follow a spec to decide what is valid and what is not. [Since GitHub is not following a spec for emails (and it will not change any time soon)](https://github.com/octokit/webhooks/issues/453#issuecomment-1189113327), to be validating emails with our RegEx would not be correct either.
