RequestID

RequestID middleware for Fiber that generates or propagates a request identifier. The ID is added to the response headers and stored in the request context.

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler
func FromContext(c fiber.Ctx) string

Examples

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

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/requestid"
)

After initializing your Fiber app, you can use the middleware in the following ways:

// 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"
    },
}))

If the incoming request already contains the configured header, its value is reused instead of generating a new one.

Getting the request ID

func handler(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    id := requestid.FromContext(c)
    log.Printf("Request ID: %s", id)
    return c.SendString("Hello, World!")
}

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

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,
}
