Webhook SDK for the Seam API written in TypeScript.
npm install @seamapi/webhook
Webhook SDK for the Seam API written in TypeScript.
[Seam] makes it easy to integrate IoT devices with your applications.
This is an official SDK for the Seam API.
Please refer to the official [Seam Docs] to get started.
The Seam API implements webhooks using [Svix].
This SDK exports a thin wrapper around the svix package
Use it to parse and validate Seam webhook events
with full TypeScript support for Seam event types.
Refer to the [Svix docs on Consuming Webhooks] for
an in-depth guide on best-practices for handling webhooks
in your application.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is a low-level package meant for applications and libraries with particular dependency requirements.
> Before using this package, ensure you understand the installation and updating instructions.
> This SDK is entirely contained in the [seam package].
> Seam recommends using that package instead for simpler dependency management.
Add this as a dependency to your project using [npm] with
``
$ npm install @seamapi/webhook
[npm]: https://www.npmjs.com/
[seam package]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/seam
This package has optional peer dependencies for TypeScript users.
Recent versions of npm will automatically install peer dependencies by default.
For those users, no additional steps are necessary for full TypeScript support,
however users should still explicitly install the latest types (see the next section).
Other package managers require peer dependencies to be added manually.
Refer to any warnings generated by your package manager
about missing peer dependencies and install them as needed.
Refer to the next section for keeping the types updated.
#### Keeping up with the latest types
This package depends on [@seamapi/types] for the latest TypeScript types.
New versions of this SDK are generally not released when new types are published.
Unless your project frequently runs a blanket npm update,
the types will become outdated with the Seam API over time.
Thus, users of this package should explicitly install the types with
`
$ npm install -D @seamapi/types
and update them when consuming new API features with
`
$ npm install -D @seamapi/types@latest
The Seam API implements webhooks using Svix.
This SDK exports a thin wrapper SeamWebhook around the svix package.
Use it to parse and validate Seam webhook events.
Refer to the Svix docs on Consuming Webhooks
for an in-depth guide on best-practices for handling webhooks in your application.
> [!TIP]
> This example is for Express,
> see the Svix docs for more examples in specific frameworks.
`js
import { env } from 'node:process'
import { SeamWebhook } from '@seamapi/webhook'
import express from 'express'
import bodyParser from 'body-parser'
const app = express()

You will need [Node.js] with [npm] and a [Node.js debugging] client.
Be sure that all commands run under the correct Node version, e.g.,
if using [nvm], install the correct version with
`
$ nvm install
Set the active version for each shell session with
`
$ nvm use
Install the development dependencies with
`
$ npm install

#### Manual
Publish a new version by triggering a [version workflow_dispatch on GitHub Actions].
The version input will be passed as the first argument to [npm-version].
This may be done on the web or using the [GitHub CLI] with
`
$ gh workflow run version.yml --raw-field version=
