Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently its not possible to insert headers from context in the router, like we see on Apollo. It requires a custom module, but would be great to have this feature in the pure config file.

Describe the solution you'd like

Etc reading user_id from context in config.yaml

version: '1'
headers:
  all: # Rules for all origin requests
    request:
      - insert:
          name: "User-ID"
          from_context: "user_id"

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create a custom plugin/module that supports to read from context and insert the header.

Hi @rasmusviben, thanks for opening an issue. Could you elaborate a bit more on your needs? Do you only want to forward UserID? Thanks.

No, its just an example. I have a bunch of headers - 6-7 values that I would like to read from the context and forward as header, like for apollo: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphos/routing/header-propagation - see section "Insert header from context". Might be against rules to link to Apollo from here, but I'll take my chances. :)

Currently I can't see thats possible to do with the cosmo-router without writing a custom module?
