# MaxwellRequestId
Maxwell middleware for adding x-request-id to outgoing requests.
It takes the ``:request_id` property from the Logger metadata and passes it on under the `x-request-id` header in outgoing http requests made through maxwell.
## Installation
Add `maxwell_request_id` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:maxwell_request_id, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
```
## Usage
```elixir
defmodule MyClient do
use Maxwell.Builder, ~w(get)a
middleware MaxwellRequestId.Middleware
def my_request_with_request_id(path) do
path
|> new()
|> get()
end
end
```
## Configuration
When adding the middleware, you can specify the name of the header to use for outgoing requests:
```elixir
middleware MaxwellRequestId.Middleware, [header_name: "x-transaction-id"]
```
