<!-- markdownlint-disable MD043 -->
This typing utility provides static typing classes that can be used to ease the development by providing the IDE type hints.
## Key features
* Add static typing classes
* Ease the development by leveraging your IDE's type hints
* Avoid common typing mistakes in Python
## Getting started
???+ tip
All examples shared in this documentation are available within the [project repository](https://github.com/aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-python/tree/develop/examples){target="_blank"}.
We provide static typing for any context methods or properties implemented by [Lambda context object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-context.html){target="_blank"}.
## LambdaContext
The `LambdaContext` typing is typically used in the handler method for the Lambda function.

```
## Working with context methods and properties
Using `LambdaContext` typing makes it possible to access information and hints of all properties and methods implemented by Lambda context object.
