Benjamin GrosseandGitHub 0c4df7176a fix: don't constrain middlewares' context-keys to strings 🐛 (#2751)
* Revert "Revert "🐛 requestid.Config.ContextKey is interface{} (#2369)" (#2742)"

This reverts commit 21ea005b07.

* fix: request ContextKey default value condition

Should check for `nil` since it is `any`.

* fix: don't constrain middlewares' context-keys to strings

`context` recommends using "unexported type" as context keys to avoid
collisions https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2#Ctx.Locals.

The official go blog also recommends this https://go.dev/blog/context.

`fiber.Ctx.Locals(key any, value any)` correctly allows consumers to
use unexported types or e.g. strings.

But some fiber middlewares constrain their context-keys to `string` in
their "default config structs", making it impossible to use unexported
types.

This PR removes the `string` _constraint_ from all middlewares, allowing
to now use unexported types as per the official guidelines. However
the default value is still a string, so it's not a breaking change, and
anyone still using strings as context keys is not affected.

RequestID

RequestID middleware for Fiber that adds an identifier to the response.

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/requestid"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(requestid.New())

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(requestid.New(requestid.Config{
    Header:    "X-Custom-Header",
    Generator: func() string {
        return "static-id"
    },
}))

Config

Property Type Description Default
Next func(*fiber.Ctx) bool Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true. nil
Header string Header is the header key where to get/set the unique request ID. "X-Request-ID"
Generator func() string Generator defines a function to generate the unique identifier. utils.UUID
ContextKey interface{} ContextKey defines the key used when storing the request ID in the locals for a specific request. "requestid"

Default Config

The default config uses a fast UUID generator which will expose the number of requests made to the server. To conceal this value for better privacy, use the utils.UUIDv4 generator.

var ConfigDefault = Config{
    Next:       nil,
    Header:     fiber.HeaderXRequestID,
	Generator:  utils.UUID,
	ContextKey: "requestid",
}
