Adds an indentifier to the response using the `X-Request-ID` header. Passes the `X-Request-ID` value back to the caller if it's sent in the request headers. ## Config define your custom generator function: ```go func main() { r := gin.New() r.Use( requestid.New( requestid.WithGenerator(func() string { return "test" }), requestid.WithCustomHeaderStrKey("your-customer-key"), ), ) // Example ping request. r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) { c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix())) }) // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080 r.Run(":8080") } ``` ## Example ```go package main import ( "fmt" "net/http" "time" "github.com/gin-contrib/requestid" "github.com/gin-gonic/gin" ) func main() { r := gin.New() r.Use(requestid.New()) // Example ping request. r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) { c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix())) }) // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080 r.Run(":8080") } ``` How to get the request identifier: ```go // Example / request. r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) { c.String(http.StatusOK, "id:"+requestid.Get(c)) }) ```
