📂 Middleware - Quick Framework

The middleware directory contains useful middleware implementations for the Quick Framework, making it easy to integrate common features such as authentication, compression, logging, request size limits, and UUID tracking.

📌 What are Middlewares?

Middlewares are functions that intercept HTTP requests before they reach the final handler. They allow:

• Validation (e.g., authentication and security policies)
• Request/response modification (e.g., GZIP compression)
• Logging and monitoring (e.g., request logging and UUID tracking)

---

📜 Middlewares Available

🔐 BasicAuth Provides HTTP Basic Authentication, requiring a username and password to access protected routes.

• Can be applied globally or to specific routes.
• Supports authentication via environment variables.
• Allows custom implementation if needed.

---

📦 Compress

Enables automatic GZIP compression of HTTP responses to reduce response size and improve performance.

• Detects if the client supports compression (Accept-Encoding: gzip).
• Compresses responses transparently without modifying business logic.
• Improves bandwidth efficiency.

---

🌐 CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

Controls how your API can be accessed from different domains.

• Restricts which domains, methods, and headers are allowed.
• Helps prevent CORS errors in browsers.
• Configurable via allowed origins, headers, and credentials.

---

📜 Logger (Request Logging)

Logs incoming HTTP requests, helping in monitoring and debugging.

• Logs request method, path, response time, and status code.
• Can be integrated with structured logging tools.
• Helps with API usage tracking and debugging.

---

📏 Maxbody (Request Size Limiter)

Restricts the maximum request body size to prevent clients from sending excessively large payloads.

• Avoids excessive memory usage.
• Can prevent attacks such as DoS (Denial-of-Service).
• Returns a 413 Payload Too Large error when exceeded.

---

🔄 MsgUUID

Assigns a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) to each request.

• Allows easy tracking of requests in logs.
• Useful for distributed systems where tracing requests across services is required.
• Adds a unique identifier to every request automatically.
