+#### Context
+
+Sometimes you will want to access things such as the current logged in user (and other state only available within your controllers) from within your resource classes. To make this state available to a resource class you need to put it into the context hash - this can be done via a `context` method on one of your controllers or across all controllers using ApplicationController.
+
+For example:
+
+```ruby
+class ApplicationController < JSONAPI::ResourceController
+  def context
+    {current_user: current_user}

+end
+
+# Specific resource controllers derive from ApplicationController

-###### Context
-
-The context that's used for serialization and resource configuration is set by the controller's `context` method.

-For example:
-
-```ruby
-class ApplicationController < JSONAPI::ResourceController
-  def context
-    {current_user: current_user}
-  end
-end

-# Specific resource controllers derive from ApplicationController

 ###### Serialization Options
 
 Additional options can be passed to the serializer using the `serialization_options` method.
