RequestContextCacheService

This service is used to cache arbitrary data relative to an ongoing request. It does this by using a WeakMap bound to the current RequestContext, so the cached data is available for the duration of the request. Once the request completes, the cached data will be automatically garbage-collected.

This is useful for caching data which is expensive to compute and which is needed multiple times during the handling of a single request.

Signature

set

method(ctx: RequestContext, key: any, val: T) => void

Set a value in the RequestContext cache.

get

method(ctx: RequestContext, key: any) => T | undefined

Get a value from the RequestContext cache. If the value is not found, the getDefault function will be called to get the value, which will then be cached and returned.
