Idempotency middleware for [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) allows for fault-tolerant APIs where duplicate requests — for example due to networking issues on the client-side — do not erroneously cause the same action performed multiple times on the server-side.
Refer to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpapi-idempotency-key-header-02 for a better understanding.
## Signatures
```go
func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler
```
## Examples
Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework
```go
import (
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/idempotency"
)
```
After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:
### Default Config
```go
app.Use(idempotency.New())
```
### Custom Config
```go
app.Use(idempotency.New(idempotency.Config{
Lifetime: 42 * time.Minute,
// ...
}))
```
### Config
```go
// Config defines the config for middleware.
type Config struct {
// Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true.
//
// Optional. Default: a function which skips the middleware on safe HTTP request method.
Next func(c *fiber.Ctx) bool
// Lifetime is the maximum lifetime of an idempotency key.
//
// Optional. Default: 30 * time.Minute
Lifetime time.Duration
// KeyHeader is the name of the header that contains the idempotency key.
//
// Optional. Default: X-Idempotency-Key
KeyHeader string
// KeyHeaderValidate defines a function to validate the syntax of the idempotency header.
//
// Optional. Default: a function which ensures the header is 36 characters long (the size of an UUID).
KeyHeaderValidate func(string) error
// KeepResponseHeaders is a list of headers that should be kept from the original response.
//
// Optional. Default: nil (to keep all headers)
KeepResponseHeaders []string
// Lock locks an idempotency key.
//
// Optional. Default: an in-memory locker for this process only.
Lock Locker
// Storage stores response data by idempotency key.
//
// Optional. Default: an in-memory storage for this process only.
Storage fiber.Storage
}
```
## Default Config
```go
var ConfigDefault = Config{
Next: func(c *fiber.Ctx) bool {
// Skip middleware if the request was done using a safe HTTP method
return fiber.IsMethodSafe(c.Method())
},
Lifetime: 30 * time.Minute,
KeyHeader: "X-Idempotency-Key",
KeyHeaderValidate: func(k string) error {
if l, wl := len(k), 36; l != wl { // UUID length is 36 chars
return fmt.Errorf("%w: invalid length: %d != %d", ErrInvalidIdempotencyKey, l, wl)
}
return nil
},
KeepResponseHeaders: nil,
Lock: nil, // Set in configDefault so we don't allocate data here.
Storage: nil, // Set in configDefault so we don't allocate data here.
}
```
