ui:context
View as MarkdownReads the context of the closest enclosing component of another type.
Use it when a nested component needs something from an ancestor, for example a custom button inside a dialog:
<ui:context name="dialog" as="dialogContext" />
name is the camelCase name of the enclosing component and as the variable that receives its context. A component reads its own context through the context variable. Asking ui:context for it throws an exception.
