## Usage

This package ships with types for the webhook events generated from the
respective json schemas, which you can use like so:

```typescript
import { WebhookEvent, IssuesOpenedEvent } from "@octokit/webhooks-types";

const handleWebhookEvent = (event: WebhookEvent) => {
  if ("action" in event && event.action === "completed") {
    console.log(`${event.sender.login} completed something!`);
  }
};

const handleIssuesOpenedEvent = (event: IssuesOpenedEvent) => {
  console.log(
    `${event.sender.login} opened "${event.issue.title}" on ${event.repository.full_name}`,
  );
};
```

**⚠️ Caution ⚠️**: Webhooks Types are expected to be used with the [`strictNullChecks` option](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#strictNullChecks) enabled in your `tsconfig`. If you don't have this option enabled, there's the possibility that you get `never` as the inferred type in some use cases. See [#395](https://github.com/octokit/webhooks/issues/395) for details.
