#Express-Pass-Id

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jehy/express-pass-id.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jehy/express-pass-id)

Simple express middleware module, inspired by [express-request-id](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-request-id).

It allows passing prefixes for unique request IDs and using custom headers (because x-request-id is often already used).

##Installation

`npm install express-pass-id`

##Usage

**config.json**

```json

{

  "prefix": "myService1",

  "header": "x-my-id"

}

``` 

**express app file**

```javascript

var 

    express       = require('express'),

    app           = express(),

    config        = require('./config.json'),

    expressPassId = require('express-pass-id.js')(config),

    rp = require('request-promise');

app.use(expressPassId);

app.post('/login', function (req, res) {

  console.log('Processing route /login, id '+req.id); //print custom ID

  

  var options = {

      uri: 'https://google.com',

      headers: req.passHeaders //Here we pass our custom header

  };

   

  rp(options)

    //....

});

```
