# RequestID
RequestID middleware for [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) that generates or propagates a request identifier. The ID is added to the response headers and stored in the request context.
## Signatures
```go
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
```go
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:
```go
// 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
```go
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.
```go
var ConfigDefault = Config{
Next: nil,
Header: fiber.HeaderXRequestID,
Generator: utils.UUID,
}
```
