Webhook from shopify with laravel 4

Question

Using laravel to do a webhook for shopify on order creation

I specify my url in the webhook to my site.

I use postcatcher to receive the data from the webhook call so that I know what data they are passing in.

the data looks something like this

How do I actually access it from my php laravel function? I did something like this but when using POSTMAN to send this over i dont get anything from $c.

    $inputs = Input::all();
    $c = $inputs ['customer'];

Anyone can help?

It seems like you are passing the data as a json body. The code you've shown could've worked but lets try this.

First off do this:

$inputs = Input::all();
$c = $inputs->customer;

Now lets try:

$inputs = Input::json()->all();
$c = $inputs->customer;

Does it return anything?

Finally lets try:

$c = Input::get('customer');
$cd = Input::get('customer.default_address');

Based on the docs:

Some JavaScript libraries such as Backbone may send input to the application as JSON. You may access this data via Input::get like normal.

on postman you have to post that request as a json body.

Select the raw tab then change text to json... and copy paste the whole request into the textarea.

So the actual query you are looking for is:

$customer = Input::get('customer');

now you have everything that is inside the customer in $inputs.

access it like:

$default_address = $customer->default_address;  // returns object
$state = $customer->state; // returns string

You can even wrap it around:

if (Request::isJson())
{
    // make sure it is from a json body
}

update

try this:

$inputs = Input::all();
dd($inputs); // what does this return?
