Laravel MyInfo Singapore

A working PHP Laravel Package for MyInfo Singapore. With the annoying, time wasting hidden quirks of implementing it in PHP figured out.

Official MyInfo Docs

Will the new Myinfo be supported?

Yes, it is in my plans, previously I did not support Myinfo v4 as they announced that a new version will come out

Recently the new version is out in November 2024 and sites on Myinfo v3 are given until 30 June 2024 to upgrade.

As usual, my other work & personal life commitments will come 1st but I will still try to get it out before Myinfo v3 expires

If anyone wants to make a PR before my own attempt, you are welcome to do so too

Hope that helps for those who emailed me.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ziming/laravel-myinfo-sg

Followed by adding the following variables to your .env file.

The values provided below are the ones provided in the official MyInfo nodejs tutorial.

Change them to the values you are given for your app.

Lastly, publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgServiceProvider" --tag="myinfo-sg-config"

You may also wish to publish the MyInfo official nodejs demo app ssl files as well to storage/myinfo-ssl. You should replace these in your production environment.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgServiceProvider" --tag="myinfo-ssl"

Usage and Customisations

When building your button to redirect to SingPass. It should link to route('myinfo.singpass')

After SingPass redirects back to your Callback URI, you should make a post request to route('myinfo.person')

If you prefer to not use the default routes provided you may set enable_default_myinfo_routes to false in config/laravel-myinfo-sg.php and map your own routes. This package controllers will still be accessible as shown in the example below:

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Http\Controllers\CallAuthoriseApiController;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Http\Controllers\GetMyinfoPersonDataController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::post('/go-singpass'), CallAuthoriseApiController::class)
->name('myinfo.singpass')
->middleware('web');

Route::post('/fetch-myinfo-person-data', GetMyinfoPersonDataController::class)
->name('myinfo.person');

During the entire execution, some exceptions may be thrown. If you do not like the format of the json responses. You can customise it by intercepting them in your laravel application app/Exceptions/Handler.php

An example is shown below:

<?php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Exception;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\AccessTokenNotFoundException;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    /**
     * A list of the exception types that are not reported.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontReport = [
        // You may wish to add all the Exceptions thrown by this package. See src/Exceptions folder
    ];

    /**
     * A list of the inputs that are never flashed for validation exceptions.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontFlash = [
        'password',
        'password_confirmation',
    ];

    /**
     * Report or log an exception.
     *
     * @param  \Throwable  $exception
     * @return void
     */
    public function report(\Throwable $exception)
    {
        parent::report($exception);
    }

    /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Throwable  $exception
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function render($request, \Throwable $exception)
    {
        // Example of an override. You may override it via Service Container binding too
        if ($exception instanceof AccessTokenNotFoundException && $request->wantsJson()) {
            return response()->json([
                'message' => 'Access Token is missing'
            ], 404);
        }
        
        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
}

The list of exceptions are as follows

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\AccessTokenNotFoundException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidAccessTokenException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidDataOrSignatureForPersonDataException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\InvalidStateException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\MyinfoPersonDataNotFoundException;
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\Exceptions\SubNotFoundException;

Lastly, if you prefer to write your own controllers, you may make use of LaravelMyinfoSgFacade or LaravelMyinfoSg to generate the authorisation api uri (The redirect to Singpass link) and to fetch MyInfo Person Data. Examples are shown below

<?php

use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgFacade as LaravelMyinfoSg;

// Get the Singpass URI and redirect to there
return redirect(LaravelMyinfoSg::generateAuthoriseApiUrl($state));

<?php
use Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgFacade as LaravelMyinfoSg;

// Get the Myinfo person data in an array with 'data' key
$personData = LaravelMyinfoSg::getMyinfoPersonData($code);

// If you didn't want to return a json response with the person information in the 'data' key. You can do this
return response()->json($personData['data']);

You may also choose to subclass GetMyinfoPersonDataController and override its preResponseHook() template method to do logging or other stuffs before returning the person data.
