Hi Yahya,

It's like when we are having discussion.

If I suddenly say, "Hey, let's meet up at 3AM".
Question for you is do you know what 3AM that I refer to? I didn't give you any context (in this case let's say we are missing timezone as the context)

Therefore, I should let you know that it's 3AM UTC+7.

You might think that, then we should just add the field that receive the UTC+7 as input and proceed along, instead of using "context". Think it further if I am using Odoo in Indonesia (+7) and you are in somewhere with different utc. everytime you are requesting data it must be very annoying to keep informing the system manually that you are requesting from your timezone. That's why we have CONTEXT. it's written in the code and it explains to the system.

As conclusion, we use context to pass certain data where we want to inform our "function" in our Model without storing in database.


Hope the analogy makes sense. Feel free to confirm anything.

Oh ,Thanks this mean that contextual data is like any data but it is unique due to its special goal of use .
like time zone ,currency and so on ,is that correct ?

Yes, you got it. you can see and familiarize yourself with more examples from Odoo source code.
