Site:Frontend:BackendContexts

Backend Contexts should be thought of as a configuration for how to execute a Backend Query. Each Backend Query can have different configuration options, but for the majority of the time, they all share similar configuration parameters.

These common parameters include:

sort order

sorting is important because it allows you to sort the result of your backend query by a particular field.

order by

ordering is either ascending or descending.

objects per page

paging is important so you don't overwhelm the backend. You should pick how many objects you want to view at a given time.

object offset

an object offset affects the paging you are viewing. If you have 40 objects per page and you wanted to be on page 3, then you would have an object offset of 80.

object type

For the most part, you may never need to know more details on how Backend Queries are executed. If you do, then you can look at our Integration section.
