Setting session data globally

[azayarni]

Hello, I'm missing some kind of an entry point to be able to add some global data to the session context. The documentation explains how to modify PublicData in mutations https://blitzjs.com/docs/session-management#customize-session-public-data but how to make additional session parameters be available on every request.
HTTP Middleware seems to be not the right approach since it is a custom business logic use case.

Hey @azayarni can you give an example or more details on exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

Ok gotcha ya. So I'm guessing a user logs in once but then can directly access different subdomains if they have access?

In that case I think middleware is probably your best option. Session is managed through middleware so it sort of makes sense to add a middleware for this.

Ok, got it. Thanks, Brandon. I have a follow-up question then. Where to put custom middlewares if you need access to Prisma etc? In the documentation, there is only a very basic example with an inline JS function.

It will need to go in blitz.config.js. So no Typescript until I get #1325 merged.

But you can import the prisma client directly in blitz.config.js and do const db = new PrismaClient().

Feel free to keep asking questions :)

Thanks a lot. TypeScript support for the config file was the missing brick ;) Looking forward to the merge. 👍

It'd be great if you can share what you come up with for others who are curious :)
