Looking for upstream URL re-writer based on X-Consumer-Custom-ID. List of community plugins?

[Tomasz Rdzak]

Hi all,

I expected Request Transformer plugin to be able to modify any part of the request including the URL. I'm aware I can sent headers and query parameters, even body upstream, but it seems as if modifying the path is not supported. 

I need to call upstream REST API like that:

/customers/{X-Consumer-Custom-ID}/something)

Example for for X-Consumer-Custom-ID value 123:

/customers/123/something

This, to me looks like a common pattern in  API with restful resources access. Does anybody know how to do it?

I can try to dive into plugin development but perhaps we have it already?

Many thanks!

P.S: Also - Is there a list of community plugins maintained somewhere?

Hi,

The request-transformer indeed does not support inserting dynamic values into parts of the upstream request at this time.

A plugin of your own could do it, but no, no plugin does this out of the box as of today.

Best,
Thibault

Hi Tomasz,

Is this https://github.com/Mashape/kong/issues/677 what you are seeking? If so, please click the Thumbs Up - thanks!

For community plugins, there is no one central list, but searching LuaRocks for Kong is helpful https://luarocks.org/search?q=kong

Cheers, Cooper

Hi Cooper,

Thanks for reply! I did indeed up-vote it. I hope PR gets in quickly! But most off all, I hope that within params in regex urls I will be able to use the ones I care for, such as x-consumer-custom-id...

Regards

Unfortunately this update does not solve the problem, because it's not the capturing group of original request what I need to use as part of the upstream url, but internally created value coming from auth plugin (X-Consumer-Custom-ID). Request Transformer is the place where this functionality belongs (as Thibault Charbonnier mentioned) and to me it seems like very basic requirement for modern APIs with url-based restful resources.

Folks, one basic doubt. It looks logical but the URI regex doesnot work with strip uri.

Is it possible in the CE edition or we have to jump to Enterprise Edition now?
