The Brush Context

Backend

The Brush Context is an enrichment of the native Gadget existing contexts passed to Gadget routes or to Gadget actions.

The Brush Context handles:

  • App Proxy authentication: if Gadget instanciates the context from a REST request, Brush handles App Proxy authentication to ensure such request comes from a shop that has your app installed.
  • Shopify shop loading: Brush enriches the context with the current instance of Gadget’s shopifyShop model.
  • Shopify Admin API client: Brush automatically loads the Shopify Admin API client for the current shop. See Shopify Admin API.
  • Shopify Storefront API client: Brush automatically loads the Shopify Storefront API client for the current shop. See Shopify Storefront API.
  • Localization: Brush automatically enriches the context with the current shop’s currency, locale and country.
  • Current customer: Brush automatically enriches the context with current customer ID if it was passed by the frontend thry a REST call.

Of course, all other properties from the native Gadget contexts are available.
