Str::uuid() IN WebhookCall

[alexnogueirasilva]

The issue arises when trying to pass the return value of Str::uuid() directly to the uuid() method, which expects a string, while Str::uuid() returns an instance of Ramsey\Uuid\Lazy\LazyUuidFromString.

Problem Explanation

The error occurs at this line:

->uuid(Str::uuid())

The Str::uuid() method returns an instance of UuidInterface (from the Ramsey UUID package), not a string. The uuid() method in WebhookCall expects a string argument. When you pass the object directly, it results in a type error because the method is not designed to handle UuidInterface objects.

Solution

To resolve this issue, you need to convert the value of Str::uuid() to a string before passing it to the uuid() method:

->uuid(Str::uuid()->toString())

This ensures that the return value of Str::uuid() is converted to a string before being passed to the uuid() method, preventing the type error.

Explanation for Discussion with Spatie

When opening a discussion with the maintainers of the Spatie package, you can point out the following:

1. Type Error: The uuid() method in the Spatie\WebhookServer package expects a parameter of type string, while Str::uuid() returns a UuidInterface instance.
2. Simple Fix: One way to resolve this issue is to ensure that the UUID is converted to a string before passing it to the uuid() method, using Str::uuid()->toString().
3. Improvement Suggestion: A potential improvement in the package would be to allow the uuid() method to accept UuidInterface instances as well as strings, performing the conversion internally. For example:

   public function uuid($uuid): self
   {
       $this->uuid = $uuid instanceof UuidInterface ? $uuid->toString() : $uuid;
       return $this;
   }

4. Documentation Clarification: It would be helpful if the documentation clarified that the uuid() method expects a string and, therefore, requires conversion when using Str::uuid().
