HTTP Middleware

RoadRunner HTTP server uses default Golang middleware model which allows you to extend it using custom or community-driven middlewares. Simplest service with middleware registration would look like:

package middleware

import (
    "net/http"
)

const PluginName = "middleware"

type Plugin struct{}

// to declare plugin
func (g *Plugin) Init() error {
    return nil
}

func (g *Plugin) Middleware(next http.Handler) http.HandlerFunc {
    return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // do something
    }
}

// Middleware/plugin name.
func (g *Plugin) Name() string {
    return PluginName
}

Middleware must correspond to the following interface and be named.

We have to register this service after in the main.go file in order to properly resolve dependency:

container, err := endure.NewContainer(nil, endure.SetLogLevel(endure.ErrorLevel), endure.RetryOnFail(false))
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
err = container.Register(&http.Service{})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
err = container.Register(&custom.Service{})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

err = container.RegisterAll(        
        // ...
        &middleware.Plugin{},
    )

PSR7 Attributes

You can safely pass values to ServerRequestInterface->getAttributes() using attributes package:

func (s *Service) middleware(next http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
    return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        attributes.Set(r, "key", "value")
            next(w, r)
    }
}
