Expose ASGI scope on Request object

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I’m trying to write an application framework that works across ASGI compatible server implementations and to do this I’d like to make the ASGI scope available to users. Sanic does not make the scope publicly available though.

Describe the solution you’d like I’d like the sanic.request.Request object to provide a scope attribute which is the current ASGIScope

Additional context Presently I’m working around this by accessing request.app._asgi_app.transport.scope

Actually… as I think about it more, I do not think that we even need to set it on the Request object at all. You should have access to it (I believe):

request.transport.scope

Therefore, it is just a matter of returning that in the property and making sure that you are in ASGI.

No, not necessarily. ASGI is very important and I hope will continue to be. But we are not getting rid of the internal server either. Being geared specifically for Sanic it has the benefit of being optimized for performance in ways that ASGI servers cannot be.
