Documentation: correct way to get client IP?

[sabard]

FastAPI has a simple mechanism for accessing client information from the Request object. It looks like this information is stored in ASGIConnection in Starlite, but it's not clear to me how to access this object from a HTTP handler from the documentation, only middleware.

If this is easily done can an example be added to the documentation? Let me know if I'm missing something simple.

This is not FastAPI specific. This info is part of the ASGI spec and is as such accessible as part of the ASGI scope dictionary.

You can access request.client to access it. Simply have the request instance injected into the route handler (or the websocket instance) to interact with it.

Got it. I see now that Request inherits from ASGIConnection. Thanks!
