How to use it

Transaction Middleware follows the middleware protocol and, therefore, should be added as a middleware to your FastApi or Starlette application.

The steps, using FastAPI:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from starlette.requests import Request
from starlette.responses import Response
from transaction_middleware import (
    TransactionMiddleware,
    get_transaction_id,
    transaction_id_required,
)

app: FastAPI = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(TransactionMiddleware)

@app.get(
    "/items/{id}",
    tags=["Item"],
)
async def read_items(
    request: Request,
    response: Response,
    id: str,
    transaction_id: str = Depends(get_transaction_id()),
):
    return {
        "id": id,
        "transaction_id": transaction_id if transaction_id else "No transaction ID",
    }

Then set the environment variables (or your .env file)

TRANSACTION_MIDDLEWARE_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
TRANSACTION_MIDDLEWARE_HEADER=X-Transaction-ID

Launch the server.

Call the method you want to test, and, optionally, set the transaction Id on the headers.

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/items/1234 -H "X-Transaction-ID: 2fyJr1FbRj603pH4rweEfEzQ"

Middleware configuration

The middleware configuration is done by environment variables (or using and .env file if your project uses python-dotenv).

The main variables are shown in the table below:

Name	Description	Values	Default
TRANSACTION_MIDDLEWARE_LOG_LEVEL	Log level for the application	DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL	INFO
TRANSACTION_MIDDLEWARE_LOG_FORMAT	Log format	See python logger documentation	%(log_color)s%(levelname)-9s%(reset)s %(asctime)s %(name)s %(message)s
TRANSACTION_MIDDLEWARE_HEADER	Name for the header	Any String	X-Transaction-ID
