Plugin Config

To reuse common plugin configurations, you can extract them into a plugin config and bind it with a route directly.

For instance, you can do something like:

# create a plugin config$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/plugin_configs/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -i -d '{    "desc": "blah",    "plugins": {        "limit-count": {            "count": 2,            "time_window": 60,            "rejected_code": 503        }    }}'
# bind it to route$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -i -d '{    "uris": ["/index.html"],    "plugin_config_id": 1,    "upstream": {        "type": "roundrobin",        "nodes": {            "39.97.63.215:80": 1        }    }}'

When we can't find the corresponding plugin config with the id, the requests hit the route will be terminated with HTTP status code 503.

When a route already have plugins field configured, the plugins in the plugin config will be merged into it. The same plugin in the plugin config will override one in the plugins.

For example, when we configure a plugin config

{    "desc": "I am plugin_config 1",    "plugins": {        "ip-restriction": {            "whitelist": [                "127.0.0.0/24",                "113.74.26.106"            ]        },        "limit-count": {            "count": 2,            "time_window": 60,            "rejected_code": 503        }    }}

to

{    "uris": ["/index.html"],    "plugin_config_id": 1,    "upstream": {        "type": "roundrobin",        "nodes": {            "39.97.63.215:80": 1        }    }    "plugins": {        "proxy-rewrite": {            "uri": "/test/add",            "scheme": "https",            "host": "apisix.iresty.com"        },        "limit-count": {            "count": 20,            "time_window": 60,            "rejected_code": 503,            "key": "remote_addr"        }    }}

is equal to

{    "uris": ["/index.html"],    "upstream": {        "type": "roundrobin",        "nodes": {            "39.97.63.215:80": 1        }    }    "plugins": {        "ip-restriction": {            "whitelist": [                "127.0.0.0/24",                "113.74.26.106"            ]        },        "proxy-rewrite": {            "uri": "/test/add",            "scheme": "https",            "host": "apisix.iresty.com"        },        "limit-count": {            "count": 2,            "time_window": 60,            "rejected_code": 503        }    }}
