在 sanic 上下文 object 上键入检查变量？

Question

The sanic python http server provides a context object for global state. A nice newer feature of python is type checking, which can detect misspelled attributes. Is there a way of telling a type system like mypy what attributes, and their types you want to add to context object?

Answer 1

Because the object is a SimpleNamespace, there is no OOTB way to handle this. But, you have a few alternatives.

First, you can use Sanic Extensions to inject an object that is typed.

foo = Foo()

app.ext.dependency(foo)

@app.get("/getfoo")
async def getfoo(request: Request, foo: Foo):
    return text(foo.bar())

Second, you could create a custom object that is typed and pass that to Sanic.

class CustomContext:
    foo: int

app = Sanic(..., ctx= CustomContext())


ctx: CustomContext = app.ctx

Third, you could subclass the Sanic class and provide a typed object.
