Arbitrary request filtering

[hannomalie]

Hey guys :)

Using Identity- and AccessManager for security purposes works very well. Now we would like to have (simple) arbitrary filtering for our application. More precisely: We would like to intercept all requests and generate metrics for all usages. Is there a way to use request filters with restheart?

The only workaround we see currently, is to implement the filter logic in our AccessManager. But it wouldn't be the right place for the logic.

Thanks :)

Hi @hannespernpeintner

I'm not sure I get what you mean by "request filter"...

...however a way to intercept requests (and collect metrics) would be implementing an hook.

Ah, seems to be exactly what I wanted. Mea culpa, I overlooked it :( Thanks!
