Description

I have a handy extension written in all my Dart Frog projects that I believe is a good candidate for the main framework.

extension on RequestContext {
  T? tryRead<T>( ) {
    try {
       return read<T>( );
    } on StateError catch (_) {
       return null;
    }
  }
}

As you can see, all this does is attempts reading the value, and returns null if it fails. This is extremely useful in building web sites with Dart Frog as many routes are accessible for both authenticated and unauthenticated users, they just render differently. This supports a much nicer flow to access that data.

final user = context.tryRead<User>();
if (user == null) {
  print('unauthenticated');
} else {
  print('authenticated');
}

Requirements

• All CI/CD checks are passing.
• There is no drop in the test coverage percentage.
• Change is documented in the dependency injection docs
