attaching a property on to nitroApp and accessing it else where server-side

[BlackoutGG]

So I'm curious how you would go by doing this. Let's say I have a discord client and I need to inject this else where through the app. How would I bind it on to the nitro instance?

man I have this same question, I created a working demo but im trying to get verification if this is a proper way to handle it.

look how I attach the db to the nitroApp context, then access it from 'hello.js'

it could be worth a try for you. look at nitro plugins, they get executed once after server is initialized.

Can anyone confirm if this approach makes sense?

You can add context to each h3 event by wrapping eventHandler like:

import type { H3Event, H3EventContext } from 'h3'

interface CustomH3Event extends H3Event {
  context: H3EventContext & {
    // your custom props
    session: Record<string, any>
  },
}

export function defineCustomEventHandler<T>(handler: (event: CustomEvent) => T) {
  return defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
    // example session loader
    const session = await getUserSession(event)
    if (!session) {
      throw createError({
        statusCode: 401,
        statusMessage: 'Unauthorized',
      })
    }
	
    // set your custom context here 
    event.context.session = session

    return handler(event as CustomEvent)
  })
}
