title: How do i store request-level variables in node.js?
body: <p>for data that only needs to be available during an individual request, where should it be stored?
  i am creating new properties on the req and res objects so i dont have to pass that data from function to function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>req.myNewValue = 'just for this request'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is the process object an option?  or is it shared globally across all requests?</p>
