PlugShopifyVerifyTimestamp

When Shopify embeds your app into the Shopify Admin it also includes a bunch of variables in URL Parameters. Those are shop, timestamp and hmac. Together these variables allow you to verify the legitimacy of a request. This package allows you to verify the "timestamp" component (it does not validate it against the hmac) has not elapsed a configured window.

Usage

In the pipeline you would like to timestamp verify, add plug PlugShopifyVerifyTimestamp, max_delta: 5, halt_on_error: true to create a 5 second grace period between the request being sent and it being recieved.

pipeline :embedded do
  plug PlugShopifyVerifyTimestamp, max_delta: 5, halt_on_error: true
end

Installation

The package can be installed by adding plug_shopify_verify_timestamp to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:plug_shopify_verify_timestamp, "~> 0.1.0"}
