Description

I need to write a mongoose plugin. where I need a Request object to find hostname.

module.exports = exports = function(schema, options) {
    schema.add({
        hostname: String
    })

    schema.pre('save', true, function(next, done) {
        this.hostname = req.headers.host; //need request object
        next();
        setTimeout(done, 100);
    });
}

I have raised related question in stackoverflow

Research direction
Investigate how KeystoneJS's schema plugins and hooks currently work, particularly the 'pre' save hook. Look at the source code to understand how the request object is available in the stack and how it could be passed to plugins. Check if there are any linked discussions or PRs. The issue is old, so consider if the feature has been addressed in later versions.
