+Package context stores values shared during a request lifetime.
+
+Note: gorilla/context, having been born well before `context.Context` existed,
+does not play well > with the shallow copying of the request that
+[`http.Request.WithContext`](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Request.WithContext)
+(added to net/http Go 1.7 onwards) performs. You should either use *just*
+gorilla/context, or moving forward, the new `http.Request.Context()`.
+
+For example, a router can set variables extracted from the URL and later
+application handlers can access those values, or it can be used to store
+sessions values to be saved at the end of a request. There are several
+others common uses.
+
+The idea was posted by Brad Fitzpatrick to the go-nuts mailing list:
+
+ http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/msg/e2d679d303aa5d53
+
+Here's the basic usage: first define the keys that you will need. The key
+type is interface{} so a key can be of any type that supports equality.
+Here we define a key using a custom int type to avoid name collisions:
+
+ package foo
+
+ import (
+ "github.com/gorilla/context"
+ )
+
+ type key int
+
+ const MyKey key = 0
+
+Then set a variable. Variables are bound to an http.Request object, so you
+need a request instance to set a value:
+
+ context.Set(r, MyKey, "bar")
+
+The application can later access the variable using the same key you provided:
+
+ func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+ // val is "bar".
+ val := context.Get(r, foo.MyKey)
+
+ // returns ("bar", true)
+ val, ok := context.GetOk(r, foo.MyKey)
+ // ...
+ }
+
+And that's all about the basic usage. We discuss some other ideas below.
+
+Any type can be stored in the context. To enforce a given type, make the key
+private and wrap Get() and Set() to accept and return values of a specific
+type:
+
+ type key int
+
+ const mykey key = 0
+
+ // GetMyKey returns a value for this package from the request values.
+ func GetMyKey(r *http.Request) SomeType {
+ if rv := context.Get(r, mykey); rv != nil {
+ return rv.(SomeType)
+ }
+ return nil
+ }
+
+ // SetMyKey sets a value for this package in the request values.
+ func SetMyKey(r *http.Request, val SomeType) {
+ context.Set(r, mykey, val)
+ }
+
+Variables must be cleared at the end of a request, to remove all values
+that were stored. This can be done in an http.Handler, after a request was
+served. Just call Clear() passing the request:
+
+ context.Clear(r)
+
+...or use ClearHandler(), which conveniently wraps an http.Handler to clear
+variables at the end of a request lifetime.
+
+The Routers from the packages gorilla/mux and gorilla/pat call Clear()
+so if you are using either of them you don't need to clear the context manually.
