Is it possible to get the procedure name / id in middleware?

I want to create a caching middleware that in some routes, stores a cache key that contains the route id (example: catalog.product.findMany) and the input (example: { categories: shirts }). It's not clear to me if this is possible.

I've noticed that the req.query contains query info, but the problem is that this is batched, so I can't cache, just one of these two requests

export default publicProcedure
  .use(cacheMiddleware)
  .input(GetProductsQuerySchema)
  .query(async ({ input, ctx }): Promise<GetProductsQueryResultsLegacy> => {
    console.log({ path: __filename })
    const results = await ctx.app.get(ProductService).getProducts(input)
    return {
      ...results,
      products: results.products.map((p) => p.toLegacy()),
    }
  })

export default publicProcedure
  .use(cacheMiddleware)
  .input(GetProductsQuerySchema)
  .query(async ({ input, ctx }): Promise<GetProductsQueryResultsLegacy> => {
    console.log({ path: __filename })
    const results = await ctx.app.get(ProductService).getProducts(input)
    return {
      ...results,
      products: results.products.map((p) => p.toLegacy()),
    }
  })

Trying this to get a filename/routename. I wonder if there's a better way

you can use opts.path in the middleware

export default publicProcedure
  .input(GetProductsQuerySchema)
  .use(cacheMiddleware)

export default publicProcedure
  .input(GetProductsQuerySchema)
  .use(cacheMiddleware)

then in the cache middleware you'll have the parsed opts.input which is somewhat normalized

import isNil from 'lodash.isnil'
import { RedisService } from '@centrito/api/nest/data/redis.service'
import { t } from '@centrito/api/trpc/server'

const DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL = 60 * 60 * 1 // 1 hour

export const withCaching = t.middleware(async ({ ctx, next, meta, input }) => {
  const routeCacheKey = meta?.routeCacheKey
  if (routeCacheKey) {
    const redis = ctx.app.get(RedisService)
    const cacheKey = JSON.stringify({ env: 'dev2', route: routeCacheKey, input })

@Alex / KATT 🐱, thanks for taking the time. I'm struggling to set up this cache middleware What should the return be when the results ARE cached? Right now I wrote the following:

      return {
        data: cachedData,
      }

      return {
        data: cachedData,
      }

But this is surely wrong

Until that feature gets implemented you might just have to do:

return {
  ctx: {
    cache: cachedData,
  }
}

return {
  ctx: {
    cache: cachedData,
  }
}

Then in your procedures

...
.query(({ ctx }) => {
  if (ctx.cache) return ctx.cache;
  
  ...
})

...
.query(({ ctx }) => {
  if (ctx.cache) return ctx.cache;
  
  ...
})

It's not ideal but it should work

Is it possible to get the procedure name / id in middleware?
