    @Slacki
    there are several files in controllers package
    for example user.go, post.go, etc
    where should I put the init func
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    a good way is to have a middleware that checks for user's session
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    i was thinking about the middleware, but where should I place it? in main.go?
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    you can do that in many ways, easies is in controller package
    create a new file maybe and define the middleware there
    @Slacki sorry, I have to go now
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    okay, seeya

    @gernest isn't that a typo here? https://github.com/gernest/utron/blob/master/config.go#L30

    @Slacki yes it is a typo, you can help fix and submit a PR if you dont mind. I will look to it later. Thanks man.

    @gernest i got middlewares to work for me. is it possible to modify Context inside a middleware function? If so, how can I achieve that?
    For example if I check whether user is signed in, how can I pass the boolean containing that information to Context so I can access it in controller method?
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    @Slacki that is nice to hear
    will be back in a moment. Its dinner time here. :smile:
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    I'm back
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    @Slacki use gorilla context to do that. I did implement Context.GetData but I forgot to implement Conext.SetData
    I am working on this right now
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    @Slacki done, use *Context.SetData to store key value pair and *Context.GetData to retrieve the value.
    dont forget to get the latest changes first by go get -u github.com/gernest/utron
    enjoy

    Thank you for this. @gernest

    @Slacki you are welcome

    @gernest How can I access database globally? Is it possible or it's accessible only in controller method?
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    @Slacki only theough the controller
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    So what do you suggest in case I want some go routine running in the background which uses database
    @gernest
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    and also through *Context which is literally the one accessed in the controller
    You don't have have to
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    well, in this project I have to ;)
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    why?
    The Database connection is already a global like object( only one object passed around)
    And there is already a connection pool taken care for you
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    I am aware of that
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    okay
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    I just find it easy to process some data with goroutine
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    I see
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    I think when database connection is open it should be accessible globally
    In PHP I would use some cron tasks to do what I need to do
    but goroutine is just perfect solution
    If I only could access DB there
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    You know that the database is available in *Context right?
    Kacper Czochara
    @Slacki
    Yes, but I don't know other ways of accessing *Context than in controller method or middleware
    Geofrey Ernest
    @gernest
    So you can pass a middleware that pulls it and assigns to a global variable in your app
    It will be easy that way
    As globals are discouraged in Go
    something like this https://play.golang.org/p/7jEjnz2uT0
