Documentation Clarification - createMiddleware and context

[jtmcdole]

Request and Response are immutable and so is the context member. The documentation for context makes it seem easy to signal information to middleware and handlers.

1. Update context to be clear that modifying it on a request or response requires calling .change() on those objects
2. Adding a note in createMiddleware about the inability to forward a new request/response

Happy to work on this. Would also be happy to have a way to easily pass information down a pipeline without manipulating the request object.

Go for it!

Hi @kevmoo, just to be clear: is it the intension that createMiddleware not allow the forwarding of a "changed" request?

I think I made the same assumption as @jtmcdole that createMiddleware would allow me to update the request, especially the context or request headers before it is passed on to the next middleware or handler.

Thanks for any clarification.

Yes! You can use createMiddleware to update a request and/or a response!
