stack-request-id

Middleware for adding a request id to your Symfony Requests

Installation

First, add this project to your project's composer.json

$ composer require qandidate/stack-request-id ~0.1.0

Setting up

Update your app.php to include the middleware:

Before:

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

$kernel = new AppKernel($env, $debug);
$kernel->loadClassCache();

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $kernel->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

After:

use Qandidate\Stack\RequestId;
use Qandidate\Stack\UuidRequestIdGenerator;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

$kernel = new AppKernel($env, $debug);

// Stack it!
$generator = new UuidRequestIdGenerator(1337);
$stack = new RequestId($kernel, $generator);

$kernel->loadClassCache();

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $stack->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

Adding the request id to your monolog logs

If you use Symfony's MonologBundle you can add the request id to your monolog logs by adding the following service definition to your services.xml file:

<service id="qandidate.stack.request_id.monolog_processor" class="Qandidate\Stack\RequestId\MonologProcessor">
  <tag name="kernel.event_listener" event="kernel.request" method="onKernelRequest" priority="255" />
  <tag name="monolog.processor" />
</service>

Adding the request id to responses

If you need to send the request id back with the response you can enable the response header:

$generator = new UuidRequestIdGenerator(1337);
$stack = new RequestId($kernel, $generator);
$stack->enableResponseHeader();

It is also possible to change response header's name:

$stack->enableResponseHeader('My-Custom-Request-Id');
