🕒 Samay (Formerly TimeZoneInterceptor)

Overview

🌐 Samay (Formerly TimeZoneInterceptor) is a Java library for Spring Boot that provides automatic handling of timezone information in incoming HTTP requests. It allows you to extract and store the timezone from a custom header, making it easily accessible in your application's controller or service methods.

Features

• ✨ Automatic extraction of timezone information from a custom header in incoming requests.
• 🧵 Stores the timezone information in a ThreadLocal variable, accessible within the same request thread.
• 🚀 Seamless integration with Spring Boot applications.
• ⚙️ Customizable header to change where it looks for timezone

Installation

Add the following dependency to your project's pom.xml to use Samay:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.dineshsolanki</groupId>
    <artifactId>Samay</artifactId>
    <version>RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Samay (Formerly TimeZoneInterceptor) is available on Maven Central.

Usage

1. Configuration

By default, Samay expects the timezone information to be provided in the X-TimeZone header of incoming requests. You can customize the header name by adding the following property to your application.properties:

samay.header-name=Your-Custom-TimeZone-Header

1.2. Enable thread inheritance

The default behavior of Samay is to not inherit the timezone information in child threads. You can enable thread inheritance by adding the following property to your application.properties:

samay.thread.inheritable=true

2. Accessing the Timezone

In your Spring Boot application's controller or service methods, you can access the timezone information using the Samay.getTimeZone() method:

import io.github.dineshsolanki.Samay;

@RestController
public class YourController {

    @GetMapping("/your-endpoint")
    public ResponseEntity<String> yourEndpoint() {
        TimeZone timeZone = Samay.getTimeZone();
        // Your logic using the timeZone information
        return ResponseEntity.ok("Endpoint executed with timezone: " + timeZone.getID());
    }
}

3. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration (Optional)

Samay automatically registers the interceptor in Spring Boot applications using Spring Boot's autoconfiguration feature. You don't need to explicitly configure the interceptor.

4. Interceptor Removal

The library automatically cleans up the ThreadLocal storage after the request is processed. You don't need to worry about manual cleanup.
