# Middleware
|
|
|
|
Actix Web's middleware system allows us to add additional behavior to request/response processing. Middleware can hook into an incoming request process, enabling us to modify requests as well as halt request processing to return a response early.
|
|
|
|
Middleware can also hook into response processing.
|
|
|
|
Typically, middleware is involved in the following actions:
|
|
|
|
- Pre-process the Request
|
|
- Post-process a Response
|
|
- Modify application state
|
|
- Access external services (redis, logging, sessions)
|
|
|
|
Middleware is registered for each `App`, `scope`, or `Resource` and executed in opposite order as registration. In general, a _middleware_ is a type that implements the [_Service trait_][servicetrait] and [_Transform trait_][transformtrait]. Each method in the traits has a default implementation. Each method can return a result immediately or a _future_ object.
|
|
|
|
The following demonstrates creating a simple middleware:
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="main.rs" section="simple" />
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, for simple use cases, you can use [_wrap_fn_][wrap_fn] to create small, ad-hoc middleware:
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="wrap_fn.rs" section="wrap-fn" />
|
|
|
|
You can also use [_from_fn_][from_fn] to in combination with [_wrap_][wrap] to create a function as middleware.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="from_fn.rs" section="from-fn" />
|
|
|
|
> Actix Web provides several useful middleware, such as _logging_, _user sessions_, _compress_, etc.
|
|
|
|
**Warning: if you use `wrap()` or `wrap_fn()` multiple times, the last occurrence will be executed first.**
|
|
|
|
## Logging
|
|
|
|
Logging is implemented as a middleware. It is common to register a logging middleware as the first middleware for the application. Logging middleware must be registered for each application.
|
|
|
|
The `Logger` middleware uses the standard log crate to log information. You should enable logger for _actix_web_ package to see access log ([env_logger][envlogger] or similar).
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Create `Logger` middleware with the specified `format`. Default `Logger` can be created with `default` method, it uses the default format:
|
|
|
|
```ignore
|
|
%a %t "%r" %s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i" %T
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="logger.rs" section="logger" />
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of the default logging format:
|
|
|
|
```log
|
|
INFO:actix_web::middleware::logger: 127.0.0.1:59934 [02/Dec/2017:00:21:43 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 0 "-" "curl/7.54.0" 0.000397
|
|
INFO:actix_web::middleware::logger: 127.0.0.1:59947 [02/Dec/2017:00:22:40 -0800] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0" 0.000646
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Format
|
|
|
|
- `%%` The percent sign
|
|
- `%a` Remote IP-address (IP-address of proxy if using reverse proxy)
|
|
- `%t` Time when the request was started to process
|
|
- `%P` The process ID of the child that serviced the request
|
|
- `%r` First line of request
|
|
- `%s` Response status code
|
|
- `%b` Size of response in bytes, including HTTP headers
|
|
- `%T` Time taken to serve the request, in seconds with floating fraction in .06f format
|
|
- `%D` Time taken to serve the request, in milliseconds
|
|
- `%{FOO}i` request.headers['FOO']
|
|
- `%{FOO}o` response.headers['FOO']
|
|
- `%{FOO}e` os.environ['FOO']
|
|
|
|
## Default headers
|
|
|
|
To set default response headers, the `DefaultHeaders` middleware can be used. The _DefaultHeaders_ middleware does not set the header if response headers already contain a specified header.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="default_headers.rs" section="default-headers" />
|
|
|
|
## User sessions
|
|
|
|
Actix Web provides a general solution for session management. The [**actix-session**][actixsession] middleware can use multiple backend types to store session data.
|
|
|
|
> By default, only cookie session backend is implemented. Other backend implementations can be added.
|
|
|
|
[**CookieSession**][cookiesession] uses cookies as session storage. `CookieSessionBackend` creates sessions which are limited to storing fewer than 4000 bytes of data, as the payload must fit into a single cookie. An internal server error is generated if a session contains more than 4000 bytes.
|
|
|
|
A cookie may have a security policy of _signed_ or _private_. Each has a respective `CookieSession` constructor.
|
|
|
|
A _signed_ cookie may be viewed but not modified by the client. A _private_ cookie may neither be viewed nor modified by the client.
|
|
|
|
The constructors take a key as an argument. This is the private key for cookie session - when this value is changed, all session data is lost.
|
|
|
|
In general, you create a `SessionStorage` middleware and initialize it with specific backend implementation, such as a `CookieSession`. To access session data the [`Session`][requestsession] extractor must be used. This method returns a [_Session_][sessionobj] object, which allows us to get or set session data.
|
|
|
|
> `actix_session::storage::CookieSessionStore` is available on the crate feature "cookie-session".
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="user_sessions.rs" section="user-session" />
|
|
|
|
## Error handlers
|
|
|
|
`ErrorHandlers` middleware allows us to provide custom handlers for responses.
|
|
|
|
You can use the `ErrorHandlers::handler()` method to register a custom error handler for a specific status code. You can modify an existing response or create a completly new one. The error handler can return a response immediately or return a future that resolves into a response.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlock example="middleware" file="errorhandler.rs" section="error-handler" />
