customContext

open override val customContext: Any?(source)

A custom object that can be inserted when creating events. By default, this is just null.

This can be used to associate a custom context with an event, e.g. like this:

class YourCustomContext(...)

val kord = Kord(token) {
    gatewayEventInterceptor = DefaultGatewayEventInterceptor(
        customContextCreator = { event, kord -> YourCustomContext(...) }
    )
}

kord.on<MessageCreateEvent> {
    // receive the value previously set when creating the event
    val context = customContext as YourCustomContext
    // ...
}

kord.login()

Note that withStrategy for strategizable Events will copy customContext only by reference. This should be considered when inserting mutable objects into customContext.
