when writing a middleware function for the echo golang framework, how do I save values within the EchoContext
user
Sure, in the Echo framework for Go, you can save values within the EchoContext object using the `Context().Set()` method. Here's an example:

```go
package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()

    // Define middleware
    func(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
        return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            ctx := r.Context()
            ctx.Set("custom_key", "custom_value")
            next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
        })
    }()

    // Mount middleware
    e.Use(func(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
        return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            key := r.Context().Value("custom_key"). (string)
            fmt.Println(key)
            next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
        })
    })

    // Route
    e.GET("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
        return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
    })

    // Start server
    e.Start(":8080")
}
```

In this example, the first middleware function sets the "custom_key" value to "custom_value" in the context. The second middleware function retrieves the value and prints it. Note that values stored in the context are per-request and are cleared after the request is handled.

when writing a middleware function for the echo golang framework, how do I save values within the EchoContext
user
In the Echo framework for Go, you can save values within the `EchoContext` using the `Set` method, and retrieve them later using the `Get` method. This is especially useful when you want to share data between middleware and handlers or between different middleware functions.

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to save values within the `EchoContext`:

1. First, import the required packages:

```go
package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware"
)
```

2. Create a middleware function that sets a value to the `EchoContext`:

```go
func setValueMiddleware(next echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc {
	return func(c echo.Context) error {
		// Set a value in the context
		c.Set("exampleKey", "Hello, Middleware!")

		// Proceed to the next middleware or handler
		return next(c)
	}
}
```

3. Create a handler function that retrieves the value from the `EchoContext`:

```go
func exampleHandler(c echo.Context) error {
	// Get the value from the context
	exampleValue := c.Get("exampleKey").(string)

	// Return the response
	return c.String(http.StatusOK, exampleValue)
}
```

4. Register the middleware and handler functions in the main function:

```go
func main() {
	e := echo.New()

	// Register middleware
	e.Use(middleware.Logger())
	e.Use(middleware.Recover())
	e.Use(setValueMiddleware)

	// Register handler
	e.GET("/example", exampleHandler)

	// Start the server
	e.Start(":8080")
}
```

Run the code and visit `http://localhost:8080/example`. You should see the output as "Hello, Middleware!", demonstrating that the value was successfully saved in the `EchoContext` within the middleware and retrieved in the handler.
