# Moesif Middleware for Go Gin Framework
by [Moesif](https://moesif.com), the [API analytics](https://www.moesif.com/features/api-analytics) and [API monetization](https://www.moesif.com/solutions/metered-api-billing) platform.

Moesif middleware for Go Gin Framework logs API calls and sends them to [Moesif](https://www.moesif.com) for API analytics and log analysis. This middleware allows you to integrate Moesif's API analytics and API monetization features into your Go Gin applications with minimal configuration.

> If you're new to Moesif, see [our Getting Started](https://www.moesif.com/docs/) resources to quickly get up and running.

## Prerequisites
Before using this middleware, make sure you have the following:

- [An active Moesif account](https://moesif.com/wrap)
- [A Moesif Application ID](#get-your-moesif-application-id)

### Get Your Moesif Application ID
After you log into [Moesif Portal](https://www.moesif.com/wrap), you can get your Moesif Application ID during the onboarding steps. You can always access the Application ID any time by following these steps from Moesif Portal after logging in:

1. Select the account icon to bring up the settings menu.
2. Select **Installation** or **API Keys**.
3. Copy your Moesif Application ID from the **Collector Application ID** field.

Accessing the settings menu in Moesif Portal

## Install the Middleware
Use `go get` with the version for [Go modules](https://go.dev/ref/mod)

```bash
go get github.com/moesif/[email protected]
```

## Configure the Middleware
See the available [configuration options](#configuration-options) to learn how to configure the middleware for your use case.

## How to Use

The following snippet shows how to use the middleware:

```go
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
"github.com/moesif/moesifgin"
)

func main() {
r := gin.New()

moesifOptions := map[string]interface{}{
"Application_Id": "YOUR_MOESIF_APPLICATION_ID",
"Log_Body": true,
}
r.Use(moesifgin.MoesifMiddleware(moesifOptions))

r.POST("/test", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(201, gin.H{"message": "hello world"})
})

r.Run(":8080")
}
```

Replace *`YOUR_MOESIF_APPLICATION_ID`* with [your Moesif Application ID](#get-your-moesif-application-id).

### Optional: Capturing Outgoing API Calls
In addition to your own APIs, you can also start capturing calls out to third-party services through the following method:

```go
moesifgin.StartCaptureOutgoing(moesifOptions)
```

#### `moesifOptions` (Required)
A `map[string]interface{}` type containing the configuration options for your application. See [the example Gin server code](https://github.com/Moesif/moesifgin/blob/master/example/main.go) for better understanding.

See [Configuration Options](#configuration-options) for the common configuration options. See [Options for Logging Outgoing Calls](#options-for-logging-outgoing-calls) for configuration options specific to capturing and logging outgoing API calls.

## Troubleshoot
For a general troubleshooting guide that can help you solve common problems, see [Server Troubleshooting Guide](https://www.moesif.com/docs/troubleshooting/server-troubleshooting-guide/).

Other troubleshooting supports:

- [FAQ](https://www.moesif.com/docs/faq/)
- [Moesif support email](mailto:[email protected])

## Configuration Options
The following sections describe the available configuration options for this middleware. You can set these options in the Moesif initialization options object. See the [example](https://github.com/Moesif/moesifgin/blob/master/example/main.go) to understand how you can specify these options.

### `Application_Id` (Required)



Data type




string

A string that [identifies your application in Moesif](#get-your-moesif-application-id).

### `Should_Skip`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


(c *gin.Context)


bool

Optional.

A function that takes a `*gin.Context`, and returns `true` if you want to skip logging this particular event.

### `Identify_User`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


(c *gin.Context)


string

Optional, but highly recommended.

A function that takes a `*gin.Context`, and returns a string that represents the user ID used by your system.

Moesif identifies users automatically. However, due to the differences arising from different frameworks and implementations, provide this function to ensure user identification properly.

### `Identify_Company`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


(c *gin.Context)


string

Optional.

A function that takes a `*gin.Context`, and returns a string that represents the company ID for this event.

### `Get_Metadata`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


(c *gin.Context)


map[string]interface{}

Optional.

A function that returns a map that allows you to add custom metadata that will be associated with the event.

The metadata must be a map that can be converted to JSON. For example, you may want to save a virtual machine instance ID, a trace ID, or a tenant ID with the request.

### `Get_Session_Token`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


(c *gin.Context)


string

Optional.

A function that takes a `*gin.Context`, and returns a string that represents the session token for this event.

Similar to users and companies, Moesif tries to retrieve session tokens automatically. But if it doesn't work for your service, provide this function to help identify sessions.

### `Request_Header_Masks`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


()


[]string

Optional.

A function that returns an array of strings to mask specific request header fields.

### `Request_Body_Masks`

Function


()


[]string

Optional.

A function that returns an array of strings to mask specific request body fields.

### `Response_Header_Masks`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


()


[]string

Optional.

A function that returns an array of strings to mask specific response header fields.

### `Response_Body_Masks`



Data type


Parameters


Return type




Function


()


[]string

Optional.

A function that returns an array of strings to mask specific response body fields.

### `Debug`



Data type




bool

Optional.

Set to `true` to see debugging messages. This may help you troubleshoot integration issues.

int


10000

An optional field name that specifies the maximum number of events to hold in queue before sending to Moesif. In case of network issues, the middleware may fail to connect to or send events to Moesif. For those scenarios, this option helps prevent adding new events to the queue to prevent memory overflow.

### `Batch_Size`



Data type


Default




int


200

An optional field name that specifies the maximum batch size when sending to Moesif.

### `Timer_Wake_Up_Seconds`



Data type

"Application_Id": "YOUR_MOESIF_APPLICATION_ID",
"Log_Body": true,
}

// Campaign object is optional, but useful if you want to track ROI of acquisition channels
// See https://www.moesif.com/docs/api#users for campaign schema
campaign := models.CampaignModel {
UtmSource: literalFieldValue("google"),
UtmMedium: literalFieldValue("cpc"),
UtmCampaign: literalFieldValue("adwords"),
UtmTerm: literalFieldValue("api+tooling"),
