correlationid-middleware

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A middleware package for automatically generating and propagating correlation IDs across HTTP requests and responses. Current stable version is 0.0.2, with an unclear release cadence. It differentiates itself by offering a minimal, zero-dependency approach for Node.js applications using Express or similar frameworks. However, the package is very early-stage (pre-1.0), poorly documented, and may not support ESM or TypeScript natively. It is a niche tool for developers needing lightweight correlation ID tracking without external services.

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import correlationId from 'correlationid-middleware'

✗ const correlationId = require('correlationid-middleware')

Package appears to be CommonJS; require() works but ESM import may fail. Verify package exports.

CorrelationIdMiddleware

✓ const { CorrelationIdMiddleware } = require('correlationid-middleware')

✗ import { CorrelationIdMiddleware } from 'correlationid-middleware'

Named export may not exist; default export likely a function. Check package entry.

Types

✓ import type { CorrelationIdOptions } from 'correlationid-middleware'

TypeScript types not provided in this version; likely no type definitions.

Shows basic Express integration to auto-generate correlation IDs per request.

const express = require('express'); const correlationId = require('correlationid-middleware'); const app = express(); app.use(correlationId()); app.get('/', (req, res) => { console.log(req.correlationId); res.json({ correlationId: req.correlationId }); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));
