Why do we in some places access db like this "ctx.db.user" instead of simply "db.user"?

Just starting out and curious exactly what the ctx is used for.

at its most basic, its the same thing but putting the db in ctx lets you do some nice things like easier to write tests etc

Thank you for the reply! Could you give me a basic example so I understand it a bit clearer? 🙂
