Write queryset containing request from middleware outside of django's views

[valentin jungbluth]

Hello guys,

I have a little question about request attribute in my function located in a menu.py file (not my view):

def list_of_edition(request):
    """ Return list of editions
    :return queryset
    """
    instance = NavbarMenuSettings.objects.filter(application=request.cur_app, display=True).order_by('order')
    return instance

My request.cur_app is given by my middleware.py file:

class MultiSiteMiddleware:

    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        request.cur_app = WebApplication.objects.get_current(request)
        return self.get_response(request)

I would like to call list_of_edition() but I get each time the same issue:

TypeError: list_of_edition() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request'

I would like to now How I can handle my function in order to use it outside of views.py file ? 

I'm blocked since a moment and I don't find any way to do that.

Thank you
