Starlette Context
Middleware for Starlette that stores and accesses request context data, enabling automatic logging with headers like x-request-id.
What is Starlette Context?
Starlette-context is a middleware for the Starlette ASGI framework that provides a request-scoped context for storing and accessing data throughout an HTTP request's lifecycle. It solves the problem of passing request metadata, like correlation IDs, across different parts of an application without manual propagation, which is essential for logging and debugging in distributed systems.
Developers building ASGI-based web applications with Starlette who need request-scoped data storage, especially for logging, tracing, or passing metadata between middleware and endpoints.
Developers choose starlette-context for its simplicity, built-in plugins for common use cases like request IDs, and seamless integration with Starlette's middleware system, eliminating boilerplate code for context management.
