Warning
This pattern is still in development and may change in the future.
This is a formalisation of a well-known architectural concern in web applications, where context is scoped to the current request but also derived from it.
The Request-derived Context pattern defines a consistent approach to extracting, resolving, and providing access to contextual information that is derived from the current request. Things like user context or tenant context are common examples of this pattern in action.
This repository documents the pattern and its component concepts, including real-world examples and implementations, and sub-patterns.
See PATTERN.md for the full breakdown of the pattern.
