gorm-settings

What problem does it solve?

Provides a scoped, operation-level mechanism to pass metadata such as audit user IDs, tenant identifiers, or migration options into GORM operations and hooks so you do not rely on global state or ad-hoc context passing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Set and Get values that propagate into all hooks, including nested association hooks, enabling audit trails and conditional hook behavior.
• InstanceSet and InstanceGet for statement-scoped values that do not propagate to association hooks, useful for per-model transformations or temporary values.
• Set table options during migrations to configure database engine or table comments for MySQL/MariaDB.
• Common uses include audit logging, tenant isolation, skipping or toggling hook logic, and passing migration configuration.

Quick Start

Set an audit_user using db.Set before creating a model so the BeforeCreate hook can read and record the audit_user.
