A working PHP Laravel Package for MyInfo Singapore. With the annoying, time wasting hidden quirks of implementing it in PHP figured out.
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.
MYINFO_APP_CLIENT_ID=STG2-MYINFO-SELF-TEST
MYINFO_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=44d953c796cccebcec9bdc826852857ab412fbe2
MYINFO_APP_REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:3001/callback
MYINFO_APP_PURPOSE="demonstrating MyInfo APIs"
MYINFO_APP_ATTRIBUTES=uinfin,name,sex,race,nationality,dob,email,mobileno,regadd,housingtype,hdbtype,marital,edulevel,noa-basic,ownerprivate,cpfcontributions,cpfbalances
MYINFO_APP_SIGNATURE_CERT_PRIVATE_KEY=file:///Users/your-username/your-laravel-app/storage/myinfo-ssl/stg-demoapp-client-privatekey-2018.pem
MYINFO_SIGNATURE_CERT_PUBLIC_CERT=file:///Users/your-username/your-laravel-app/storage/myinfo-ssl/staging_myinfo_public_cert.cer
MYINFO_DEBUG_MODE=false
# SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT (no PKI digital signature)
MYINFO_AUTH_LEVEL=L0
MYINFO_API_AUTHORISE=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/authorise
MYINFO_API_TOKEN=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/token
MYINFO_API_PERSON=https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/person
# TEST ENVIRONMENT (with PKI digital signature)
#MYINFO_AUTH_LEVEL=L2
#MYINFO_API_AUTHORISE=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/authorise
#MYINFO_API_TOKEN=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/token
#MYINFO_API_PERSON=https://test.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/person
# Controller URI Paths. IMPORTANT
MYINFO_CALL_AUTHORISE_API_URL=/redirect-to-singpass
MYINFO_GET_PERSON_DATA_URL=/myinfo-person
Lastly, publish the config file
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ziming\LaravelMyinfoSg\LaravelMyinfoSgServiceProvider" --tag="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"
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(config('/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.

You’re free to use this package, but if it makes it to your production environment you are encouraged to buy the world a tree.
It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. If you support this package and contribute to the Treeware forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.
You can buy trees here offset.earth/treeware
