How do you get access to the cache from an JWTAuthenticationMiddleware?

[danechitoaie]

In the docs I see it being accessed using scope["app"].cache but the authenticate_request of JWTAuthenticationMiddleware does not have a scope param?

but the authenticate_request of JWTAuthenticationMiddleware does not have a scope param?

scope is an attribute of ASGIConnection, which is passed into authenticate_request.
So you could access the scope like this: connection.scope, and get the cache with connection.scope["app"].cache.

You don't need to go through so many indirections though, as ASGIConenction directly exposes app and cache properties, which means the easiest way to access it is connection.cache.

Check out the ASGIConnection docs.
