I want to make use of some data from our custom database in multiple widgets on the product page. I'd like to cache the results of our lookup in the HttpContext the first time the function is hit to avoid extra database lookups later in the page. If we are using Plugins to add our functionality, what is the preferred method to access the HttpContext? Is it still HttpContext.Current?

The reason I ask is that we have been doing .Net Core development and they were injecting IHttpContextAccessor, so I could access it from the constructor of my custom classes. Wasn't sure if AC was doing anything similar.

Yes, you can use HttpContext.Current in plugins.

For example, if you have the source code, you can see our existing plugins implementations.

\IntegratedProviders\CanadaPost\CanadaPost.cs line: 483
