I have a validate endpoint, which takes in a JWT that's POSTed to it, and that works fine. Currently set up like this in the application setup:
let server = HttpServer::new(|| {
App::new()
.wrap(Logger::default())
.route("/ping", web::get().to(health_check))
.route("/validate", web::post().to(validate))
})
I'm now looking to provide some JWKs, which I've done via a provider-style setup, where the calling code can just call get_key and the provider should handle caching and refreshing that cache automatically every X minutes so that I don't have to call the endpoint that provides the JWKs on each request. However, obviously that will only work if I can maintain the same instance of the provider object.
What would be the best way of doing this? Could I create an instance of the provider at the same level as the server creation code and pass in the results of provider.get_key through the app_data method that actix provides? Or perhaps do the same via middleware somehow?
I've tried passing the entire provider instance through the app_data method but can't get this to work (I think because my struct can't implement Copy due to containing a Vec), so I'm trying to find alternate methods of doing it!
