add optional IP anonymization
This PR provides an option to anonymize IP:
- in context via
Context.AnonymizedIP() - in (old) logger middleware via
remote_ip_anontoken - in (new) request logger middleware via
AnonymizeRemoteIPoption
Hi,
I we can not accept this as adding new method to Context interface would be API breaking change as that type is an Interface.
I think you would be totally fine if you add utility public function in your code base like that. There is no need to add it to the Context interface.
func AnonymizedIP(c echo.Context) string {
ip := c.RealIP()
if ip == "" {
return "" // safeguard
}
parsedIP := net.ParseIP(ip)
if parsedIP == nil {
return ip // safeguard, not an ip
}
// IPv4
if parsedIP.To4() != nil {
ipParts := strings.Split(parsedIP.String(), ".")
if len(ipParts) == 4 {
ipParts[3] = "0"
return strings.Join(ipParts, ".")
}
}
// IPv6
ipParts := strings.Split(parsedIP.String(), ":")
ipParts[len(ipParts)-1] = "0"
return strings.Join(ipParts, ":")
}
Hello, I already did a public utility function in https://github.com/etkecc/go-kit/blob/main/ip.go but just wanted to provide a "frictionless" version as part of the echo.
Would you mind telling if you are against Context.AnonymizedIP() method specifically and will accept middleware changes (logger and request logger), or you don't like the proposed idea at all, please?
