correlation
===========

[](#correlation)

Generate and attach correlation identifiers to Laravel request context.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

> **Requires [PHP 8.5+](https://php.net/releases/)**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require cline/correlation
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// bootstrap/app.php (Laravel 12)
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->append(\Cline\Correlation\Http\Middleware\AddCorrelationIdentifier::class);
})
```

```
// config/correlation.php
'strategy' => 'idempotency',
'context_key' => 'correlationIdentifier',
```

The default idempotency strategy hashes `$request->json()` to produce a stable correlation identifier.

```
// Use Mint (optional) after: composer require cline/mint
'strategy' => 'mint',
'strategies' => [
    'mint' => [
        'class' => \Cline\Correlation\Strategies\MintStrategy::class,
        'type' => 'ulid',
    ],
],
```
