Configuration Causing API Conflicts in Wasp Application

I am developing an application using Wasp version 0.16.0 and have encountered an issue with middleware configuration leading to conflicts between different API routes. Context: • Application Setup: The application includes multiple APIs, such as a payment webhook and an AI callback endpoint. • Middleware Configuration: Specific middleware functions are defined for each API to handle tasks like CORS settings and request parsing. Issue: Adding the AI callback API to the main.wasp file causes the application to crash, and the payment module becomes non-functional. Removing the AI callback API configuration restores functionality, indicating a conflict arising from the middleware configurations. Observations: • Potential Middleware Conflict: The middleware defined for the AI callback API might be impacting other routes, including the payment webhook. • Global vs. Specific Middleware: Attempts to isolate middleware configurations to specific APIs to prevent global interference have not resolved the issue. Request for Assistance: Could you provide guidance on: 1. Best Practices: Recommended practices for configuring middleware in Wasp to ensure that middleware applied to one API does not affect others. 2. Debugging Steps: Specific debugging steps or tools within Wasp to identify and resolve middleware conflicts between APIs. 3. Documentation: Detailed documentation or examples illustrating the proper setup of per-API middleware configurations to avoid such conflicts. I appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue, as it is critical to my application’s functionality. Best regards,

Hi @Taha. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Thank you for your detailed question about middleware configuration and API conflicts in your Wasp application. I'll address your concerns based on the information available in the knowledge sources. 1. Best Practices: The best practice for configuring middleware in Wasp to ensure that middleware applied to one API does not affect others is to use the apiNamespace feature. This allows you to apply middleware to specific paths without affecting other routes. Here's how you can do it: 
apiNamespace aiCallback {
  middlewareConfigFn: import { aiCallbackMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
  path: "/ai"
}

apiNamespace paymentWebhook {
  middlewareConfigFn: import { paymentWebhookMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
  path: "/webhook"
}
apiNamespace aiCallback {
  middlewareConfigFn: import { aiCallbackMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
  path: "/ai"
}

apiNamespace paymentWebhook {
  middlewareConfigFn: import { paymentWebhookMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
  path: "/webhook"
}
Then in your implementation file: 
export const aiCallbackMiddlewareFn = (config) => {
  // Configure middleware specific to AI callback
  return config;
};

export const paymentWebhookMiddlewareFn = (config) => {
  // Configure middleware specific to payment webhook
  return config;
};
export const aiCallbackMiddlewareFn = (config) => {
  // Configure middleware specific to AI callback
  return config;
};

export const paymentWebhookMiddlewareFn = (config) => {
  // Configure middleware specific to payment webhook
  return config;
};
This approach is recommended in the Wasp documentation on Custom HTTP API Endpoints. 2. Debugging Steps: To debug middleware conflicts, you can: a) Use console.log statements in your middleware functions to track which ones are being executed and in what order. b) Check the Express router configuration in the generated code (after running wasp build) to ensure the routes and middleware are set up as expected. c) Use the default middleware configurations as a starting point and gradually add your custom middleware, testing after each addition to isolate the source of the conflict. 3. Documentation: For detailed documentation on middleware configuration in Wasp, refer to the following resources: - Configuring Middleware - Customize Per-Path Middleware - Making Sure CORS Works These documents provide examples and explanations on how to properly set up per-API middleware configurations to avoid conflicts. It's important to note that APIs in Wasp are designed to be flexible and don't utilize the default middleware like Operations do. This means you need to explicitly enable CORS for your APIs if you want to use them on the client side. If you're still experiencing issues after implementing these suggestions, it might be helpful to create a minimal reproducible example and share it with the Wasp community or developers for further assistance. Wasp Documentation on Configuring Middleware provides more detailed information on the various ways to customize middleware in your Wasp application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Taha, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?
