Access request context in async code of vertx without passing it to each function

Question

I am developing an application in Vertx. I am attaching uniqueRequestId to each request and adds it to the requestContext object, so that while printing any logs I will associate uniqueRequestId to each log message and I will be able to better trace the request logs.

Now the one approach to this is, I can pass requestContext object to each function.

So my question is that, Is there any way to access requestContext object without passing it to each and every function?

You could use the contextual logging for Vert.x 4 (disclaimer: I created this library).

With Vert.x 3 you can only do it manually.

is there a version of the lib for 3.8.x? – injecteer Jan 08 '20 at 12:43
@injecteer no, it relies on the tracing support introduced in 4.0 – tsegismont Jan 09 '20 at 13:57
