# Context

The **Context** module provides context for abilities or applications. It allows access to application-specific resources, as well as permission requests and verification.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.  
> The APIs of this module can be used only in the FA model.

## Usage

The **Context** object is created in a **featureAbility** and returned through its **getContext()** API. Therefore, you must import the **@ohos.ability.featureAbility** package before using the **Context** module. An example is as follows:

```js
import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility'
var context = featureAbility.getContext();
context.getOrCreateLocalDir()
```

## Context.getOrCreateLocalDir<sup>7+</sup>

getOrCreateLocalDir(callback: AsyncCallback\<string>): void

Obtains the local root directory of the application. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

If this API is called for the first time, a root directory will be created.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

**Parameters**

| Name      | Type                    | Mandatory  | Description           |
| -------- | ---------------------- | ---- | ------------- |
| callback | AsyncCallback\<string> | Yes   | Callback used to return the local root directory.|

**Example**

```js
import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility'
var context = featureAbility.getContext();
context.getOrCreateLocalDir((err, data)=>{
    console.info("data=" + data);
})
```



## Context.getOrCreateLocalDir<sup>7+</sup>
