Is it possible to generate random values before a response is returned using Wiremock Standalone?

My use case is to generate random user ids in a http header.

thanks

Just found this in the documentation but can I use this in standalone mode?

Yes, you can also do this when running standalone. You either need to bake your extension into a runnable jar with wiremock, or add it to the classpath when starting wiremock-standalone. The latter means you can't use java -jar unfortunately, but instead add both jars to the classpath via -cp.

Tom, I have this working but I would like to now deploy it to AWS and I require a main class to execute it. The manifest file doesn't contain a main method. Do you know which one I can use?

This is the command I'm using. 

java -cp "target/recommendations-wiremock-id-stub-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;wiremock-1.58-standalone.jar" com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.standalone.WireMockServerRunner --extensions co.uk.example.qa.HeaderTransformer

Your command line looks about right. What happens when you run it?

How did you resolve this? Even I need to generate some random value in the response.

{{randomValue length=33 type='ALPHANUMERIC'}}
{{randomValue length=12 type='ALPHANUMERIC' uppercase=true}}
{{randomValue length=55 type='ALPHABETIC'}}
{{randomValue length=27 type='ALPHABETIC' uppercase=true}}
{{randomValue length=10 type='NUMERIC'}}
{{randomValue length=5 type='ALPHANUMERIC_AND_SYMBOLS'}}
{{randomValue type='UUID'}}

On the date and time helpers could you add unix epoch time as well.

Also some of the DateFormate is not working -  
{{now offset='10 years' format='yyyy-MM-dd'}}  Example Format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ

If there is any single quote in the date format.

Epoch time is a good shout. I'll add that on the next pass.

Have you tried double quotes around the format parameter?

Could you tell me which extension you installed to have this available ?

{{randomValue length=33 type='ALPHANUMERIC'}}
{{randomValue length=12 type='ALPHANUMERIC' uppercase=true}}
{{randomValue length=55 type='ALPHABETIC'}}
{{randomValue length=27 type='ALPHABETIC' uppercase=true}}
{{randomValue length=10 type='NUMERIC'}}

You spoke only about header modifier
