I'm not sure this is the best topic name I could use but is there a way in sinatra+rack to use classes/modules like in php+apache way? I mean is there a way you can use Singleton or any other static typed variables in just request scope? What I need(would want to) is:
class Config # might be just module
# some methods that are request scoped
# cant be shared between users/reuqest
def server_settings
# possible server dependent settings
# can be shared between requests on same server
end
end
class Something
def do_thing
# I would like to access Config class here without passing it as parameter
# setted up for the current request
end
end
class MyController < Sinatra::Base
# request handling, creates Config class, setting up request parameters once
def handle_it
Something.new.do_thing
end
end
No rails here and I'm very limited on things I can do / gems I can use. MyController comes from internal framework. I can ofc extend it though. Php+apache goes from nothing every request so all your code is request only unless you use sessions/cookies.
The reason why I would like to use this is to avoid passing config instance(or any other kind of data repository) into every other instance as parameter and simply access it "globaly".
