# App Context

The AppContext is a higher-order component (HOC) that stores global objects and methods used throughout your application, such as:

* user credentials 
* [authentication methods](/gravity-native/authentication.md) (sign in, authorizeUser, signout)
* [notification banner](/gravity-native/components/notification.md) methods (show, hide)
* [modal](/gravity-native/components/modal.md) methods (show, hide)
* [handling errors](/gravity-native/handling-errors.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
The AppContext is located in **`/components/app`**
{% endhint %}

You can then use any of these methods anywhere in your application by importing the `AppContext` into your components.

```javascript
import { useContext } from 'react';
import { AppContext } from '~/components/lib'

export function Profile(props){

  const context = useContext(AppContext);
  context.handleError(err);

}
```
