Typed event handling for GitHub Webhooks

Typed event handling for GitHub Webhooks

This library provides types for using GitHub Webhook events in Python, and a class for registering event handlers for each event type.

An example using FastAPI:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from gh_webhooks import GhWebhookEventHandler
from gh_webhooks.types import BranchProtectionRuleCreated

app = FastAPI()
event_handler = GhWebhookEventHandler()

@event_handler.on(BranchProtectionRuleCreated)
async def handle_new_branch_protection_rule(event: BranchProtectionRuleCreated):
    print(event.repository.name)


@app.post("/payload")
async def handle_webhook_payload(request: Request):
    await event_handler.handle_event(request.json())

The types are auto-generated using datamodel-code-generator. A GitHub action maintains these types automatically.

Integration tests are also auto-generated from the example events in the GitHub Webhook events spec docs.

Developing

Install Poetry and poetry install the project

Useful Commands

Note: if Poetry is managing a virtual environment for you, you may need to use poetry run poe instead of poe

• poe autoformat - Autoformat code
• poe lint - Lint code
• poe test - Run tests
• poe docs - Build docs
• poe codegen - Generate types

Release

Release a new version by manually running the release action on GitHub with a 'major', 'minor', or 'patch' version bump selected. This will create an push a new semver tag of the format v1.2.3.

Pushing this tag will trigger an action to release a new version of your library to PyPI.

Optionally create a release from this new tag to let users know what changed.
