17. Developer Guide

These are basic guides to writing some custom components of the gateway.spring-doc.cn

17.1. Writing Custom Route Predicate Factories

In order to write a Route Predicate you will need to implement RoutePredicateFactory. There is an abstract class called AbstractRoutePredicateFactory which you can extend.spring-doc.cn

MyRoutePredicateFactory.java
public class MyRoutePredicateFactory extends AbstractRoutePredicateFactory<HeaderRoutePredicateFactory.Config> {

    public MyRoutePredicateFactory() {
        super(Config.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Predicate<ServerWebExchange> apply(Config config) {
        // grab configuration from Config object
        return exchange -> {
            //grab the request
            ServerHttpRequest request = exchange.getRequest();
            //take information from the request to see if it
            //matches configuration.
            return matches(config, request);
        };
    }

    public static class Config {
        //Put the configuration properties for your filter here
    }

}

17.2. Writing Custom GatewayFilter Factories

To write a GatewayFilter, you must implement GatewayFilterFactory. You can extend an abstract class called AbstractGatewayFilterFactory. The following examples show how to do so:spring-doc.cn

Example 72. PreGatewayFilterFactory.java
public class PreGatewayFilterFactory extends AbstractGatewayFilterFactory<PreGatewayFilterFactory.Config> {

    public PreGatewayFilterFactory() {
        super(Config.class);
    }

    @Override
    public GatewayFilter apply(Config config) {
        // grab configuration from Config object
        return (exchange, chain) -> {
            //If you want to build a "pre" filter you need to manipulate the
            //request before calling chain.filter
            ServerHttpRequest.Builder builder = exchange.getRequest().mutate();
            //use builder to manipulate the request
            return chain.filter(exchange.mutate().request(builder.build()).build());
        };
    }

    public static class Config {
        //Put the configuration properties for your filter here
    }

}
PostGatewayFilterFactory.java
public class PostGatewayFilterFactory extends AbstractGatewayFilterFactory<PostGatewayFilterFactory.Config> {

    public PostGatewayFilterFactory() {
        super(Config.class);
    }

    @Override
    public GatewayFilter apply(Config config) {
        // grab configuration from Config object
        return (exchange, chain) -> {
            return chain.filter(exchange).then(Mono.fromRunnable(() -> {
                ServerHttpResponse response = exchange.getResponse();
                //Manipulate the response in some way
            }));
        };
    }

    public static class Config {
        //Put the configuration properties for your filter here
    }

}

17.2.1. Naming Custom Filters And References In Configuration

Custom filters class names should end in GatewayFilterFactory.spring-doc.cn

For example, to reference a filter named Something in configuration files, the filter must be in a class named SomethingGatewayFilterFactory.spring-doc.cn

It is possible to create a gateway filter named without the GatewayFilterFactory suffix, such as class AnotherThing. This filter could be referenced as AnotherThing in configuration files. This is not a supported naming convention and this syntax may be removed in future releases. Please update the filter name to be compliant.

17.3. Writing Custom Global Filters

To write a custom global filter, you must implement GlobalFilter interface. This applies the filter to all requests.spring-doc.cn

The following examples show how to set up global pre and post filters, respectively:spring-doc.cn

@Bean
public GlobalFilter customGlobalFilter() {
    return (exchange, chain) -> exchange.getPrincipal()
        .map(Principal::getName)
        .defaultIfEmpty("Default User")
        .map(userName -> {
          //adds header to proxied request
          exchange.getRequest().mutate().header("CUSTOM-REQUEST-HEADER", userName).build();
          return exchange;
        })
        .flatMap(chain::filter);
}

@Bean
public GlobalFilter customGlobalPostFilter() {
    return (exchange, chain) -> chain.filter(exchange)
        .then(Mono.just(exchange))
        .map(serverWebExchange -> {
          //adds header to response
          serverWebExchange.getResponse().getHeaders().set("CUSTOM-RESPONSE-HEADER",
              HttpStatus.OK.equals(serverWebExchange.getResponse().getStatusCode()) ? "It worked": "It did not work");
          return serverWebExchange;
        })
        .then();
}
