Is there a way to access event and context inside the flask route

[kartikpuri95]

@app.route(BASE_ROUTE, methods=['GET'])
def hello_world():
    # event=request.environ['event']
    print('--hello--')
    # print(event)
    return jsonify(message="hello world")

def handler(event, context):
    print('---event--')
    print(event)
    print('---context--')
    print(context)
    return awsgi.response(app, event, context)

Above is my code structure, I was wondering how can I access the event and context inside the route. I have a custom authenticated API gateway settings which returns a token inside the event, I want to ask that token across the flask application

Same Question, is there any way to get the context and event object please.

if it is a just token string, you can inject it into HTTP headers

def handler(event, context):
    print('---event--')
    print(event)
    print('---context--')
    print(context)

    event.get("headers")["token"] = token_from_lambda_event

    return awsgi.response(app, event, context)

or you can get the whole event object

@app.before_request
def before_request() -> None:
  event = globals.request.environ.get("awsgi.event", {})

[mission-adelvalle]

from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

@app.route("/wfr", methods=["POST"])
def wfr():
    event = request.environ.get("awsgi.event", {})
    context = request.environ.get("awsgi.context", {})
    return {
        "statusCode": 200,
        "body": json.dumps(
            {
                "message": "wfr invoked",
            }),
        "isBase64Encoded": False,
    }
