-- | A container storing useful data along the request lifecycle, such as the request, the current user, set current view layout, flash messages, ...
--
-- The controller context is usually accessed via the @?context@ variable. It's availble inside the action and the view. Think of it as a key-value-map where the key is the type of the value.
--
-- You can store information inside the context using 'putContext':
--
-- >>> newtype CurrentLayout = CurrentLayout Html
-- >>>
-- >>> ?context <- newControllerContext
-- >>> putContext (CurrentLayout layout)
--
-- Inside an action you can access the values using 'fromContext':
--
-- >>> (CurrentLayout layout) <- fromContext
--
-- You can freeze the context and then access values without being inside an IO context (like inside views which are pure):
--
-- Call 'freeze' inside an IO part:
--
-- >>> ?context <- freeze ?context
--
-- ('freeze' is automatically called by IHP before rendering a view, so usually you don't need to call it manually)
--
-- Then use the frozen context from your pure code like this:
--
-- >>> let (CurrentLayout layout) = fromFrozenContext in ...
--
-- The context is initially created before a action is going to be executed. Its life cycle looks like this:
--
-- - @newControllerContext@: The new controller context is created
-- - The 'IHP.ControllerSupport.runActionWithNewContext' fills in a few default values: The current @?application@ and also the Flash Messages to be rendered in the to-be-generated response.
-- - @initContext@: The initContext function of the @InitControllerContext WebApplication@ (inside your FrontController.hs) is called. There application-specific context can be provided. Usually this is the current user and the default layout.
-- - @beforeAction@: Here the context could also be modified. E.g. the layout could be overriden here for the whole controller.
-- - @action ..@: The action itself.
-- - Freezing: Before rendering the response, the container is frozen. Frozen means that all previously mutable fields become immutable.
-- - View Rendering: The frozen container is now used inside the view and layout to display information such as the current user or flash messages

-- The following hack is bad, but allows us to override the logger using 'putContext'
