 Sharing data with context
=========================

By default BladeX components only have access to variables that are passed to them via attributes or via the view model. In some cases you might find yourself passing the same variables to multiple components. Take a look at this example where we are building a form using some BladeX components.

```

```

You can avoid having to pass `$user` to each component separatly by using a special component called `context`.

You can rewrite the above as

```

```

**Note**: If you are using a custom component prefix (e.g. `BladeX::prefix('x')`, for more details see the following chapter), you will have to use the prefix for this special component as well: ``

The only restriction of `context` is that you shouldn't use it around a slot.

```

    {{-- Don't do this: the variables in `context` will not be passed to `$slot`.

        {{ $slot }}

```
