### Verify Webhook Signature in Node.js

Source: https://docs.thequickassist.co/webhooks

Use this logic to validate the authenticity of incoming requests by comparing the provided signature against a locally generated HMAC hash.

```javascript
const signature = req.headers['x-webhook-signature'];
if (!signature) return res.status(401).send('Missing signature');

// Extract hash from signature format (sha256=hash)
const parts = signature.split('=');
const signatureHash = parts.length > 1 ? parts[1] : parts[0];

const payload = JSON.stringify(req.body);
const expected = crypto
  .createHmac('sha256', WEBHOOK_SECRET)
  .update(payload)
  .digest('hex');

// Use timingSafeEqual to prevent timing attacks
const matches = crypto.timingSafeEqual(
  Buffer.from(signatureHash, 'hex'),
  Buffer.from(expected, 'hex')
);

if (!matches) {
  return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
```
