lektor.context.Context

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 function which will return it. If there is no artifact build ongoing then the return value will be None.

Basic Example

from lektor.context import get_ctx

ctx = get_ctx()
print('The current source is %s' % ctx.source)
