Installation

Install with Package Manager Console

PM> Install-Package AzureFunctions.Extensions.Middleware

Usage

Getting Started

1. Add HttpContextAccessor to service collection

Inorder to access/modify HttpContext within custom middleware we need to add HttpContextAccessor in Startup.cs file.

builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor();

2. Add custom middlewares to the pipeline

One or more custom middlewares can be added to the execution pipeline using MiddlewareBuilder.

builder.Services.AddTransient<IMiddlewareBuilder, MiddlewareBuilder>((serviceProvider) =>
            {
                var funcBuilder = new MiddlewareBuilder(serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IHttpContextAccessor>());
                funcBuilder.Use(new ExceptionHandlingMiddleware(new LoggerFactory().CreateLogger(nameof(ExceptionHandlingMiddleware))));
                funcBuilder.UseWhen(ctx => ctx.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/api/Authorize"),
                    new AuthorizationMiddleware(new LoggerFactory().CreateLogger(nameof(AuthorizationMiddleware))));
                return funcBuilder;
            });

2.1 Use()

• Use() middleware takes custom middleware as parameter and will be applied to all the endpoints

2.2 UseWhen()

• UseWhen() takes Func<HttpContext, bool> and custom middleware as parameters. If the condition is satisfied then middleware will be added to the pipeline of exectuion.

3. IMiddlewareBuilder dependency

We can now add IMiddlewareBuilder as a dependency to our HTTP trigger function class.

        private readonly ILogger<Function1> _logger;
        private readonly IMiddlewareBuilder _middlewareBuilder;

        public Function1(ILogger<Function1> log, IMiddlewareBuilder middlewareBuilder)
        {
            _logger = log;            
            _middlewareBuilder = middlewareBuilder;
        }

4. Execute pipeline

Now we need to bind last middleware for our HttpTrigger method , to do that wrap our existing code inside Functionsmiddleware block "_middlewareBuilder.ExecuteAsync(new FunctionsMiddleware(async (httpContext) ⇒{HTTP trigger code})"

 
return await _middlewareBuilder.ExecuteAsync(new FunctionsMiddleware(async (httpContext) =>
            {
                _logger.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");

                string name = httpContext.Request.Query["name"];                

                string requestBody = await new StreamReader(httpContext.Request.Body).ReadToEndAsync();
                dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(requestBody);
                name = name ?? data?.name;

                string responseMessage = string.IsNullOrEmpty(name)
                    ? "This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response."
                    : $"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.";

                return new OkObjectResult(responseMessage);
            }));

Sample

You can find .NET 6 sample application here . In this example we have registered Exception handling custom middleware to the exectuion order that will handle any unhandled exceptions in the Http Trigger execution.
