dot-response-header

Middleware for setting and overwriting custom response headers.

Requirements

• PHP: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4

Installation

Run the following command in your project root directory:

composer require dotkernel/dot-response-header

Next, register the package's ConfigProvider to your application config.

Dot\ResponseHeader\ConfigProvider::class,

Make sure to register the package under the // DK packages section.

After registering the package, add it to the middleware stack in config/pipeline.php after $app->pipe(RouteMiddleware::class);

$app->pipe(RouteMiddleware::class);
$app->pipe(\Dot\ResponseHeader\Middleware\ResponseHeaderMiddleware::class);

Create a new file response-header.global.php in config/autoload with the below configuration array:

<?php
    return [
        'dot_response_headers' => [
            '*' => [
                'CustomHeader1' => [
                    'value' => 'CustomHeader1-Value',
                    'overwrite' => true,
                ],
                'CustomHeader2' => [
                    'value' => 'CustomHeader2-Value',
                    'overwrite' => false,
                ],
            ],
            'home' => [
                'CustomHeader' => [
                    'value' => 'header3',
                ]
            ],
            'login' => [
                'LoginHeader' => [
                    'value' => 'LoginHeader-Value',
                    'overwrite' => false
                ]
            ],
        ]
    ];

Because headers are matched with route names, we can have custom response headers for every request, by defining new headers under the * key.

All headers under * will be set for every response.

To add response headers for a specific set of routes, define a new array using the route name as the array key.

Example:

'dot_response_headers' => [
    'user' => [
        'UserCustomHeader' => [
            'value' => 'UserCustomHeader-Value',
            'overwrite' => false
        ]
    ],
]

// This will set a new header named UserCustomHeader with the UserCustomHeader-Value value for any route name matching 'user'

To overwrite an existing header use overwrite => true.
