Node context not a function?

General
1

Have used context successfully for both global and flow. According to documentation, there is also node context. But can't get this to work and don't find any examples.

For example:

node.get("key");
node.set("key", msg.payload);

What am I missing?

That would be
context.set(path,value,store)
context.get(path,store)

Thanks, somehow missed the API section (thought it was Rest api without looking).
