When Lektor builds sources into finished build artifacts it performs many
|
||
|
|
operations in addition to just creating the end result. For instance it needs
|
||
|
|
to perform dependency tracking, it needs to remember that there might be
|
||
|
|
associated other artifacts and more. All this information is tracked on the
|
||
|
|
`Context` during a build of a single source. At a later point the builder
|
||
|
|
will look at the context to decide on further operations to perform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current context can be discovered by calling the [get_ctx :ref](../get-ctx/)
|
||
|
|
function which will return it. If there is no artifact build ongoing then
|
||
|
|
the return value will be `None`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
from lektor.context import get_ctx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ctx = get_ctx()
|
||
|
|
print 'The current source is %s' % ctx.source
|
||
|
|
```
