If your mod serves as a tool for other mods to integrate with, exposing APIs through the context object using <code>ctx.api</code> is the recommended approach. This is especially useful when paired with a mod developed using modules. The <code>api</code> method accepts an object and will expose any properties on that object to the global <code>mod</code> object within the <code>api['your-mods-namespace']</code> property. You can call the <code>api</code> method multiple times to append more APIs. | If your mod serves as a tool for other mods to integrate with, exposing APIs through the context object using <code>ctx.api</code> is the recommended approach.
