One Plugin - Several Routes

1

Hello.

We have problem with kong plugins reusability.

Let’s assume that we have structure like

service:
route1:
route2:
route3:

On route 1 and route 2 we have to apply key auth
On route 3 - no key auth needed.

Since kong does not allow us to configure plugins like

requests.put(KONG_ADMIN_URL + 'routes/awesome-service/plugins/<plugin_configuration_name>', {
    'name': 'key-auth',
    'config.key_names': ['Authorization'],
})

And we have to use ids:

requests.put(KONG_ADMIN_URL + 'routes/awesome-service/plugins/7cd47c78-1f45-4805-b8f2-76adcf619bd8', {
    'name': 'key-auth',
    'config.key_names': ['Authorization'],
})

We keep local map of “plugin_configuration” → “plugin_id”

But it leads to huge config duplication. Can we use somehow one plugin config on several routes (without service level usage)?
