Associations between schemas of different contexts

How does one handle this kind of situation? On paper, having Accounts->User sounds like a great idea, but sooner or later, you’ll need to access it outside of the Accounts context.

You can just have a user_id on another context’s resource and then use the Accounts context to access your user resource (Accounts.get_user(user_id) or so). That’s totally valid

@josevalim

A context can know about resources in other contexts, as long as those resources are explicitly returned by the context (i.e. as long as you respect the code boundaries).
