Minor Changes

• Introduce a verifyWebhook() function to verify incoming Clerk webhook requests and process the payload. This function handles webhook signature verification using Svix and is now available across all backend and fullstack SDKs. (#5468) by @wobsoriano

  To get started, install svix, which Clerk uses to verify its webhooks:

  npm install svix

  Then in your webhook route handler, import verifyWebhook() from the Express SDK:

  import { verifyWebhook } from '@clerk/express/webhooks';
  
  app.post(
    '/api/webhooks',
    bodyParser.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  
    async (req, res) => {
      try {
        const evt = await verifyWebhook(req);
  
        // Do something with payload
        const { id } = evt.data;
        const eventType = evt.type;
        console.log(`Received webhook with ID ${id} and event type of ${eventType}`);
        console.log('Webhook payload:', body);
  
        return res.status(200).send('Webhook received');
      } catch (err) {
        console.log('Error: Could not verify webhook:', err.message);
        return res.status(400).send('Error: Verification error');
      }
    },
  );
