django-middleware-global-request

Django middleware that keep request instance for every thread.

Install

    pip install django-middleware-global-request

Note

• It's NOT good to use global request, you should pass the request instance from view to any where you want to use it.
• If you use the global request in Model layout, it means when you call the Model method from Django Shell, you get a None request.

1. Add django application django_global_request to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_middleware_global_request',
       ...
   ]
   

2. Add GlobalRequestMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE in settings.py

   MIDDLEWARE = [
       ...
       'django_middleware_global_request.middleware.GlobalRequestMiddleware',
       ...
   ]
   

3. Get request instance with function get_request from django_middleware_global_request.middleware

   from django_middleware_global_request.middleware import get_request
   
   class TestModel(models.Model):
   
       field1 = models.CharField(max_length=32)
   
       def hello(self):
