    RequestContext

    Protocol that all request contexts should conform to. A RequestContext is a statically typed metadata container for information that is associated with a Request, and is therefore instantiated alongside the request.

    It’s passed along the whole middleware chain through to the route. This allows middleware and the route to share this metadata.

    Typical use of a context includes:

    • The origin that sent the request (IP address or otherwise)

    • The identity, such as a user, that is associated with this request

    The context is a statically typed metadata container for the duration of a single request. It’s used to store values between middleware and routes such as the user’s identity.

    The lifetime of a RequestContext should not exceed that of the request.
