How can I intercept all node request-promise http requests to modify the request options?

Question

I would like to create a global request interceptor for request-promise based requests so that I can add an x-request-id header to all outgoing requests. Since the behaviour is common across all outgoing requests, I prefer to not have to add this functionality everywhere that I am making a request.

I don't notice such functionality in the library documentation.

You are looking for request.defaults()

I didn't realize I had access to all the normal request methods. The downside here is that if I am using RP in many modules, I will have to create and provide access to this wrapped instance across all modules. It's a shame that the RP global instance (static) can't be set (without monkey patching or something). – Richard Collette May 16 '17 at 19:14
You can open an issue in github repo, maybe the contributors and/or you can add your desired functionality. Why not ?! – Engineer May 17 '17 at 13:59
