Gitlab::SafeRequestStore

A safer abstraction of RequestStore that comes with request_store gem.

This gem works as a proxy to RequestStore allowing you to use the same interface even when the Request Store is not active. In this case a NullStore is being used under the hood providing no-ops when the Request Store is not active.

Usage

When request store is active it works the same as RequestStore:

Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.active? # => true
Gitlab::SafeRequestStore[:test] = 123
Gitlab::SafeRequestStore[:test] # =>  123

When request store is not active it does nothing:

Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.active? # => false
Gitlab::SafeRequestStore[:test] = 123
Gitlab::SafeRequestStore[:test] # =>  nil

You can enforce the request store to temporarily be active using:

Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.active? # => false

Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.ensure_request_store do
  Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.active? # => true
  # do something...
end

Gitlab::SafeRequestStore.active? # => false
