Django global context

Project description

django-g

Django global context to get current request from anywhere in your application.

Many scenarios need the current request but Django don't have it accessible. They expect that your application implement a middleware to use the request, but it is burdensome and not reusable.

Other packages, like django-threadlocals do the same thing with threadlocals, but it doesn't work on the async world.

How to install

$ pip install django-g

How to use

Add django_g.middleware.RequestMiddleware to your settings MIDDLEWARE. It is a small middleware just to capture the current request and save to global context, ordering probably doesn't matter because any other middleware already have access to the request.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django_g.middleware.RequestMiddleware",
    ...
]
from django_g import get_current_request


def your_func():
    request = get_current_request()
    # Use the request here. Be careful and handle when `request=None`.

protip It is not a good idea to get the request everywhere, because you're coupling the framework specifics with your logic, so use this package only to get the request where you don't have a better way.
