Manages a global stack of strings for sharing information about the current execution context.
Views can modify their output based on the local context. You may want to display a list of blogs on a blog page or in a small widget. The rendered output could be different for those two contexts ('blog' vs 'widget').
Pages that pass through the page handling system set the context to the first string after the root url. Example: http://example.org/elgg/bookmarks/ results in the initial context being set to 'bookmarks'.
The context is a stack so that for a widget on a profile, the context stack may contain first 'profile' and then 'widget'.

| Elgg\Context::__construct | ( | HttpRequest | $request | ) |
Initialize the context from the request.
| HttpRequest | $request | Elgg request |
Definition at line 36 of file Context.php.
| Elgg\Context::contains | ( | string | $context | ) |
Check if this context exists anywhere in the stack.
This is useful for situations with more than one element in the stack. For example, a widget has a context of 'widget'. If a widget view needs to render itself differently based on being on the dashboard or profile pages, it can check the stack.
