GetClientContext

Reads the current request's ClientContext, falling back to building one from the connection address and the User-Agent header. It always returns a usable value and never throws. A built context is stored on the request, so only the first call reads the connection and every later call returns it, unless SetClientContext pinned one first.

Usage

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using AlmightyShogun.AspNet.Core;

[ApiController]
[Route("sessions")]
public sealed class SessionsController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Create()
    {
        ClientContext clientContext = HttpContext.GetClientContext();

        return Ok(new
        {
            clientContext.IpAddress,
            clientContext.UserAgent
        });
    }
}

Returns

The stored ClientContext, or one built from the connection address and User-Agent header when none is stored.

Type signature
