Add values to base context for a server / service about grpc-go HOT 4 CLOSED

Wouldn't it be better to add the db connection as a field to the server structure that implements the service interface? I don't think context is supposed to be used for values like these..

What if you want to pass something to all the services in a server? We need to add that to all the services?

Yes. When adding it to the context you'll have to get the value from the context and type-assert it to be your db connection...
I don't think adding a line of code to each service implementing struct is a large problem.. If you have multiple services you could add the connection as a global instance or create a global getter.

Point taken :)
