The `SignatureValidator` will verify if the incoming GitHub web hook request is correctly signed.

use Swop\GitHubWebHook\Security\SignatureValidator;

$validator = new SignatureValidator();

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request */
if ($validator->validate($request, 'secret')) {
    // Request is correctly signed
}
```

### GitHub event object creation

The `GitHubEventFactory` can build GitHubEvent objects representing the GitHub event.

```
use Swop\GitHubWebHook\Event\GitHubEventFactory;

$factory = new GitHubEventFactory();

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request */
$gitHubEvent = $factory->buildFromRequest(RequestInterface $request);

$gitHubEvent->getType(); // Event type
$gitHubEvent->getPayload(); // Event deserialized payload
```
