How to get request body in Spring Cloud Gateway and addHeader

Viewed 3167

I plan to migrate a project from Zuul to Spring Cloud Gateway. I have a "checksum code" and I don't know how to migrate it.

In the zuul code i get the url parameter and json body, I then do some checks.

HttpServletRequest request = requestContext.getRequest();
Map<String, String[]> parameterMap = getURLParamter(request);
String json = getBody(request);

if(securityCheck(parameterMap, json) == true) {
    requestContext.addZuulRequestHeader("check-success-then-next-filter", "1");
} else {
    requestContext.setResponseBody("{ msg:: check error }");
}

I have limited experience with Spring gateway please help me find what the equivalent code is in Spring Gateway,

Spring Cloud gateway has filters to modify request body and response body.

ModifyResponseBody
ModifyRequestBody

As mentioned in the specs, for using these filters, we need to use DSL approach rather than YAML file for configuring routes. So essentially you will have a RouteBuilder like below -

@Bean
public RouteLocator myRoutes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) {
    RouteLocatorBuilder.Builder routeLocator = builder.routes().route(
    p -> {
      p.method("POST").path("/<path>").filters(f -> {
         f.modifyRequestBody(String.class, 
                             String.class,
                             (exchange, reqMessage) -> {
                try {
                    log.info(">>> INCOMING REQUEST <<< - {}", reqMessage);
                    //Get query params
                    exchange.getRequest().getQueryParams();
                    // In case of any validation errors, throw an exception so that 
                    // it can be handled by a global exception handler
                    return Mono.just(reqMessage);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    log.error("Exception while modifying request body", e);
                    throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage());
                }
            });
        })
    });
}

A global exception handler could then send a standard response back -

public class GlobalExceptionHandler extends AbstractErrorWebExceptionHandler {
    @Override
    protected RouterFunction<ServerResponse> getRoutingFunction (ErrorAttributes errorAttributes) {
       return RouterFunctions.route(RequestPredicates.all(),this::renderErrorResponse);
    }
    
    private Mono<ServerResponse> renderErrorResponse (ServletRequest request) {
        Map<String,Object> errorPropertiesMap = getErrorAttributes (request,ErrorAttributeOptions.defaults());
        String customErrMsg = errorPropertiesMap.get("message") != null ? errorPropertiesMap.get("message").toString() : null;
    
        if(customErrMsg != null) {
            return ServerResponse.status(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
                                 .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                                 .body(BodyInserters.fromValue(errorPropertiesMap.get("message")));
        } else {
            return ServerResponse.status(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
                                 .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                                 .body(BodyInserters.fromValue(errorPropertiesMap));
        }
    }
}

GlobalFilter can be used to modify the request.

public class RequestTransaformationFilter implements GlobalFilter, Ordered {

  @Autowired 
  private ModifyRequestBodyGatewayFilterFactory modifyRequestBodyFilter;
  @Autowired 
  private RequestBodyRewrite requestBodyRewrite;

  @Override
  public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, GatewayFilterChain chain) {
    return modifyRequestBodyFilter
        .apply(
            new ModifyRequestBodyGatewayFilterFactory.Config()
                .setRewriteFunction(String.class, String.class, requestBodyRewrite))
        .filter(exchange, chain);
  }

 
}

RequestRewrite bean can be configured to modify request:

public class RequestBodyRewrite implements RewriteFunction<String, String> {

  @Override
  public Publisher<String> apply(ServerWebExchange exchange, String body) {
    Gson gson = new Gson();
   
      Map<String, Object> map = gson.fromJson(body, Map.class);
      map.put("NewField", "value");
      return Mono.just(gson.toJson(map, Map.class));
    
  }
}
