# Flask Request ID Middleware
Python Flask middleware to ensure all requests have a request ID header.
## Purpose
This middleware ensures all request made to a Flask application includes a Request ID header (`X-Request-ID`),
containing at least one unique value.
[Request IDs](https://theburningmonk.com/2015/05/a-consistent-approach-to-track-correlation-ids-through-microservices/)
or *Correlation IDs* can be used when logging errors and allows users to trace requests through multiple layers such as
load balancers and reverse proxies. The request ID header value may consist of multiple IDs encoded according to
[RFC 2616](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2).
## Installation
This package can be installed using Pip from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/flask-request-id-header):
```
$ pip install flask-request-id-header
```
## Usage
This middleware has no required parameters and by default will add a request header to requests where one does not
already exist, or append a unique value where existing request IDs do not contain at least one UUID (version 4) value.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
RequestID(app)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
Optionally a Flask config option, `REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX`, can be set whereby any request ID beginning with
this prefix be treated as unique, preventing an additional value being appended.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX'] = 'FOO-'
RequestID(app)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
### Accessing the request ID
The current request ID can be accessed wherever a request context exists:
```python
from flask import request, has_request_context
if has_request_context():
print(request.environ.get("HTTP_X_REQUEST_ID"))
```
To access the request ID outside of the current application, it is included in the response (as `X-Request-ID`).
**Note:** Components between the application and the client, such as reverse proxies, may alter or remove this header
value before reaching the client.
### Logging the request ID
Optionally, the current request ID can be included in application logs, where a request context exists.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
import logging
from flask import Flask, request, has_request_context
from flask.logging import default_handler
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX'] = 'FOO-'
RequestID(app)
class RequestFormatter(logging.Formatter):
def format(self, record):
record.request_id = 'NA'
if has_request_context():
record.request_id = request.environ.get("HTTP_X_REQUEST_ID")
return super().format(record)
formatter = RequestFormatter(
'[%(asctime)s] [%(levelname)s] [%(request_id)s] %(module)s: %(message)s'
)
default_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
## Developing
A docker container ran through Docker Compose is used as a development environment for this project defined . It
includes development only dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`, a local Flask application in `app.py` and
[Integration tests](#integration-tests).
Ensure classes and methods are defined within the `flask_request_id_header` package.
Ensure [Integration tests](#integration-tests) are written for any new feature, or changes to existing features.
If you have access to the BAS GitLab instance, pull the Docker image from the BAS Docker Registry:
```shell
$ docker login docker-registry.data.bas.ac.uk
$ docker-compose pull
# To run the local Flask application using the Flask development server
$ docker-compose up
# To start a shell
$ docker-compose run app ash
```
### Code Style
PEP-8 style and formatting guidelines must be used for this project, with the exception of the 80 character line limit.
[Flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/) is used to ensure compliance, and is ran on each commit through
[Continuous Integration](#continuous-integration).
To check compliance locally:
```shell
$ docker-compose run app flake8 . --ignore=E501
```
### Dependencies
Development Python dependencies should be declared in `requirements.txt` to be included in the development environment.
Runtime Python dependencies should be declared in `requirements.txt` and `setup.py` to also be installed as dependencies
of this package in other applications.

%package -n python3-flask-request-id-header
Summary: Python Flask middleware to ensure all requests have a request ID header
Provides: python-flask-request-id-header
BuildRequires: python3-devel

BuildRequires: python3-pip
%description -n python3-flask-request-id-header
# Flask Request ID Middleware
Python Flask middleware to ensure all requests have a request ID header.
## Purpose
This middleware ensures all request made to a Flask application includes a Request ID header (`X-Request-ID`),
containing at least one unique value.
[Request IDs](https://theburningmonk.com/2015/05/a-consistent-approach-to-track-correlation-ids-through-microservices/)
or *Correlation IDs* can be used when logging errors and allows users to trace requests through multiple layers such as
load balancers and reverse proxies. The request ID header value may consist of multiple IDs encoded according to
[RFC 2616](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2).
## Installation
This package can be installed using Pip from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/flask-request-id-header):
```
$ pip install flask-request-id-header
```
## Usage
This middleware has no required parameters and by default will add a request header to requests where one does not
already exist, or append a unique value where existing request IDs do not contain at least one UUID (version 4) value.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
RequestID(app)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
Optionally a Flask config option, `REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX`, can be set whereby any request ID beginning with
this prefix be treated as unique, preventing an additional value being appended.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX'] = 'FOO-'
RequestID(app)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
### Accessing the request ID
The current request ID can be accessed wherever a request context exists:
```python
from flask import request, has_request_context
if has_request_context():
print(request.environ.get("HTTP_X_REQUEST_ID"))
```
To access the request ID outside of the current application, it is included in the response (as `X-Request-ID`).
**Note:** Components between the application and the client, such as reverse proxies, may alter or remove this header
value before reaching the client.
### Logging the request ID
Optionally, the current request ID can be included in application logs, where a request context exists.
A minimal application would look like this:
```python
import logging
from flask import Flask, request, has_request_context
from flask.logging import default_handler
from flask_request_id_header.middleware import RequestID
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REQUEST_ID_UNIQUE_VALUE_PREFIX'] = 'FOO-'
RequestID(app)
class RequestFormatter(logging.Formatter):
def format(self, record):
record.request_id = 'NA'
if has_request_context():
record.request_id = request.environ.get("HTTP_X_REQUEST_ID")
return super().format(record)
formatter = RequestFormatter(
'[%(asctime)s] [%(levelname)s] [%(request_id)s] %(module)s: %(message)s'
)
default_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'hello world'
```
## Developing
A docker container ran through Docker Compose is used as a development environment for this project defined . It
includes development only dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`, a local Flask application in `app.py` and
[Integration tests](#integration-tests).
Ensure classes and methods are defined within the `flask_request_id_header` package.
Ensure [Integration tests](#integration-tests) are written for any new feature, or changes to existing features.
If you have access to the BAS GitLab instance, pull the Docker image from the BAS Docker Registry:
```shell
$ docker login docker-registry.data.bas.ac.uk
$ docker-compose pull
# To run the local Flask application using the Flask development server
$ docker-compose up
# To start a shell
$ docker-compose run app ash
```
### Code Style
PEP-8 style and formatting guidelines must be used for this project, with the exception of the 80 character line limit.
[Flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/) is used to ensure compliance, and is ran on each commit through
[Continuous Integration](#continuous-integration).
To check compliance locally:
```shell
$ docker-compose run app flake8 . --ignore=E501
```
### Dependencies
Development Python dependencies should be declared in `requirements.txt` to be included in the development environment.
Runtime Python dependencies should be declared in `requirements.txt` and `setup.py` to also be installed as dependencies
of this package in other applications.
All dependencies should be periodically reviewed and update as new versions are released.
```shell
$ docker-compose run app ash
$ pip install [dependency]==
# this will display a list of available versions, add the latest to `requirements.txt` and or `setup.py`
$ exit
$ docker-compose down
$ docker-compose build
```
If you have access to the BAS GitLab instance, push the Docker image to the BAS Docker Registry:
```shell
$ docker login docker-registry.data.bas.ac.uk
$ docker-compose push
```

2. bump the version parameter in `setup.py` and append `.dev{ os.getenv('CI_PIPELINE_ID') or None }` to signify a
pre-release
3. push changes and merge the `next-release` branch into `master`
