# Store Context

Use the `@storeContext` directive to execute a Storefront GraphQL operation in a specific storefront context. This is
useful when you need to control the language, country, or currency for the response, or when you want to resolve the
operation in an authenticated customer's context.

## Supported arguments

- `language` - Language code for the response, for example `fi` or `en`
- `country` - Country code for the storefront context, for example `FI` or `SE`
- `currency` - Currency code used in the response, for example `EUR` or `SEK`
- `customerAccessToken` - Customer access token for authenticated customer context

## Example: localized product query

```graphql
query GetFinnishProducts @storeContext(language: "fi", country: "FI", currency: "EUR") {
  catalog {
    products {
      edges {
        node {
          id
          title
          price
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Using customerAccessToken

`@storeContext` also accepts `customerAccessToken`. Retrieve the token with the `customerAccessTokenCreate` mutation,
then pass the returned `accessToken` value into the directive.

```graphql
mutation CreateCustomerAccessToken {
  customerAccessTokenCreate(input: {
    email: "customer@example.com"
    password: "SecurePassword123"
  }) {
    customerAccessToken {
      accessToken
      expiresAt
    }
  }
}
```

```graphql
query GetPersonalizedCatalog($customerAccessToken: String!) @storeContext(
  language: "fi"
  country: "FI"
  currency: "EUR"
  customerAccessToken: $customerAccessToken
) {
  catalog {
    products {
      edges {
        node {
          id
          title
          price
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
