Variables in service class instance are getting wiped out on each request to the controller.

Hi Guys,

Despite me reusing the same service instance, variables set within the service instance are gone whenever I try getting getCrawlStatus. Does that mean that each request uses a new instance of the controller?

@Route('crawler')
export class CrawlerController extends Controller {
  private crawlerService: CrawlerService;

  constructor() {
    super();
    this.crawlerService = new CrawlerService();
  }

  @Post('crawl')
  public async crawl(@Body() body: { siteId: number }): Promise<any> {
    return this.crawlerService.crawl(body.siteId);
  }

  @Get('status/{siteId}')
  public async getCrawlStatus(@Path() siteId: number): Promise<any> {
    return this.crawlerService.getCrawlStatus(siteId);
  }
}

If I create a global variable in the service, above the class, the data is persisted.

Thanks!

Yes. If you want to hook into this, you can provide your own iocModule, then you can return the same class instance every time.
