113. Configuring Route Predicate Factories and Gateway Filter Factories

There are two ways to configure predicates and filters: shortcuts and fully expanded arguments. Most examples below use the shortcut way.

The name and argument names will be listed as code in the first sentance or two of the each section. The arguments are typically listed in the order that would be needed for the shortcut configuration.

113.1 Shortcut Configuration

Shortcut configuration is recognized by the filter name, followed by an equals sign (=), followed by argument values separated by commas (,).

application.yml. 

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      routes:
      - id: after_route
        uri: https://example.org
        predicates:
        - Cookie=mycookie,mycookievalue

The previous sample defines the Cookie Route Predicate Factory with two arguments, the cookie name, mycookie and the value to match mycookievalue.

113.2 Fully Expanded Arguments

Fully expanded arguments appear more like standard yaml configuration with name/value pairs. Typically, there will be a name key and an args key. The args key is a map of key value pairs to configure the predicate or filter.

application.yml. 

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      routes:
      - id: after_route
        uri: https://example.org
        predicates:
        - name: Cookie
          args:
            name: mycookie
            regexp: mycookievalue

This is the full configuration of the shortcut configuration of the Cookie predicate shown above.
