# `lektor.context.``get_ctx` ()

This function returns the currently active Build Context or `None` if no context is active. This is the main method to access the context. Generally the context is available if a build is active and `None` if not. This means that if plugins only call that method in places where they know a build is access it's not necessary to check if the context is available.

For more information: Context.

## Example

    from lektor.context import get_ctx

    ctx = get_ctx()
