How to extract context from a repository?

In Android, to extract the context from a repository, the context is usually passed to the repository through the constructor or methods, as the repository itself does not have direct access to the context.

For example, if the repository works with a database or resources, it needs the application or activity context:

class UserRepository(private val context: Context) {
    fun getUserData(): User {
        // Use context to access resources or database
    }
}

The context can be obtained from a ViewModel or another component that has it, for example from Application:

class MyViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    private val repository = UserRepository(application.applicationContext)
}

It is important to use applicationContext to avoid memory leaks, especially if the repository lives longer than the activity.

Thus, the context is extracted and passed to the repository from outside, not obtained from the repository itself.
