ResetCurrentThread

In multi-threaded environments, leaking context of current thread onto other parts of the application can result into unwanted behaviors. ResetCurrentThread provides easy to use helper functions to reset current thread locals. Along with a Rack middleware compatible plugin.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'reset_current_thread'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install reset_current_thread

Usage

As a simple lib

ResetCurrentThread.all!

Optionally, you can also reset thread/fiber locals

ResetCurrentThread.fiber_locals!
ResetCurrentThread.thread_locals!

Rack middleware

config.middleware.use ResetCurrentThread::Middleware

Development
