# 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](https://pypi.org/project/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.
```python
MIDDLEWARE = [
"django_g.middleware.RequestMiddleware",
...
]
```
```python
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.
