• Before initializing a new context, the GlobalContext.clear() method is used to reset the current context, if any.

Parameters

• config — A WebContextOptions object, or a callback function to set options

Return value

The app global context, typed as WebContext.

Example

// Start the application
const app = useWebContext((options) => {
  options.logicalPxScale = 1.5;
  options.theme.styles.LinkButton =
    options.theme.styles.LinkButton.extend({
      decoration: { borderColor: ui.color.PRIMARY },
    });
});
app.addActivity(new MyActivity())
app.addService("MyService", new MyService())
