README

Automatically attach a Telescope-compatible request identifier to every JSON response and propagate it via headers.

Installation

composer require bekand/telescope-request-track

The package registers itself automatically thanks to Laravel's package auto-discovery.

Configuration

Publish the configuration to customise header names, JSON keys, or disable the middleware globally.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=telescope-track-config

Available options (see config/telescope-track.php):

• enabled (bool): Toggle the middleware globally (default true).
• show_in_json (bool): Control whether the request ID is appended to JSON payloads (default true).
• key (string): JSON key added to responses (default request_id).
• header (string): Header used for propagation (default X-Request-Id).
• routes (array): Middleware groups that should receive the request ID middleware (default ['api', 'web']).
• except (array): URI patterns (same semantics as $request->is()) that should not receive a request ID.

Usage

The middleware is prepended globally, so every JSON response automatically gains a request identifier. Responses that already define the configured JSON key are respected.

If a response body is a JSON list, it's wrapped into a structure like:

{
  "data": [1, 2, 3],
  "request_id": "..."
}

Skipping specific routes

Wrap routes with the provided SkipRequestId middleware to bypass augmentation:

use BekAnd\TelescopeRequestTrack\Middleware\SkipRequestId;

Route::get('/health', function () {
    return response()->json(['status' => 'ok']);
})->middleware(SkipRequestId::class);

Telescope integration

When laravel/telescope is installed, the package tags request entries with the request identifier so you can filter them easily:

request-id: <value>
