Can this be used in api calls?

Please carify if this can be used in node APIs where the methods from different files are being called in a single api and should carry some dynamic value throughout the files to be used in all methods.

Of course, I'm using it right now to track the request ID propagation throughout the app.

@JaiyashreeSM If you don't know how to use async-local-storage, you can show me your codes and I may give you some suggestions.

@vicanso, We use loopback and here is the simple flow. I get the value being set in the incoming request here in server.js but not carried to test.js The call from rest-client first comes here... server.js `const als = require('async-local-storage');

app.all('*', function(req, res, next) { console.log(Request for --- ${req.method} : ${req.originalUrl}); als.set('reqTenant', req.headers.tenant || 'someTestValue'); next(); });` the control then comes to the file where the api-method is executed

test.js

`const als = require('async-local-storage'); Test.remoteMethod('testAPI', { description: 'Test api', accepts: [], http: {path: '/test', verb: 'get'}, returns: {arg: 'msg', type: 'object', root: true} });

Test.testAPI = (options, callback) => { const searchText = als.get('reqTenant'); Test.find({ where: { name: {ilike: searchText } }, }, (err, res) => { callback(err, res) }); };`

I am sorry for late replying. You should call the enable function like the example.
