goa Middlewares
This repository contains middlewares for the goa web application framework.

The middleware package provides middlewares that do not depend on additional packages other than
the ones already used by goa. These middlewares provide functionality that is useful to most
microservices:
-
LogRequest enables logging of
incoming requests and corresponding responses. The log format is entirely configurable. The default
format logs the request HTTP method, path and parameters as well as the corresponding
action and controller names. It also logs the request duration and response length. It also logs
the request payload if the DEBUG log level is enabled. Finally if the RequestID middleware is
mounted LogRequest logs the unique request ID with each log entry.
-
LogResponse logs the content
of the response body if the DEBUG log level is enabled.
-
RequestID injects a unique ID
in the request context. This ID is used by the logger and can be used by controller actions as
well. The middleware looks for the ID in the RequestIDHeader
header and if not found creates one.
-
Recover recover panics and logs
the panic object and backtrace.
-
Timeout sets a deadline in the
request context. Controller actions may subscribe to the context channel to get notified when
the timeout expires.
-
RequireHeader checks for the
presence of a header in the request with a value matching a given regular expression. If the
header is absent or does not match the regexp the middleware sends a HTTP response with a given
HTTP status.
