# Contexts
401-
402-
## Blog Post
403-
404-
The blog post has a number of `Context`s you can pass to the `makeNode()` function to provide more information when getting a `BlogPost`. Currently there are three contexts supported:
405-
406-
* `.shortSnippet` - this will return the post with an `id`, `title`, `author_name`, `author_username`, `slug_url`, `created_date` (Human readable) and `short_snippet`
407-
* `.longSnippet` - this will return the post with an `id`, `title`, `author_name`, `author_username`, `slug_url`, `created_date` (Human readable) and `long_snippet`. It will also include all of the tags in a `tags` object if there are any associated with that post
408-
* `.all` - this returns the post with all information, including both snippet lengths, including author names and human readable dates, as well as both dates in ISO 8601 format under the parameter names `created_date_iso8601` and `last_edited_date_iso8601`.
409-
410-
If no `Context` is supplied to the `makeNode()` call you will get:
411-
412-
* `id`
413-
* `title`
414-
* `contents`
415-
* `bloguser_id` - The ID of the Author of the post
416-
* `created` - The time the post was created as a `Double`
417-
* `slug_url`
418-
* `published` - Whether the post has been published or not
419-
420-
## Blog User
421-
422-
The blog user has a `withPostCount` `BlogUserContext` available to pass into the `makeNode()` function that provides an extra `post_count` parameter to the user node, which contains the number of posts that author has written.
423-
424-
## Blog Tag
425-
426-
The blog user has a `withPostCount` `BlogTagContext` available to pass into the `makeNode()` function that provides an extra `post_count` parameter to the tag node, which contains the number of posts tagged with that tag.
427-
428-
# Snippets
429-
430-
SteamPress supports two type of snippets for blog posts - short and long. Short snippets will provide the first paragraph or so of the blog post, whereas long snippets will show several paragraphs (such as for use on the main blog page, when listing all of the posts)
431-
432-
## Usage
433-
434-
You can pass in a `BlogPostContext` to the `makeNode()` call to provide more information when getting `BlogPost` objects, as shown above.
435-
436-
You can also call them directly on a `BlogPost` object (such as from a `Query()`):
437-
438-
```swift
439-
// These both return the some of the contents of a blog post (as a String)
440-
let shortSnippet = post.shortSnippet()
441-
let longSnippet = post.longSnippet()
442-
```
