React Context API

The React Context API allows sharing of data across all levels of a React application. It solves the problem of "prop drilling" where props are passed through many levels of a component tree. Context provides a way to share data like user authentication or theme without explicitly passing props down every level. To use Context, a context object is created and provided with a value, then consumed by wrapping components in a Context.Consumer or using the useContext hook. Context should be used when data needs to be accessible globally rather than just passing props through many levels.

• Prop Drilling : We pass props down to


the levels and levels of the component
tree when not all of those components
necessarily need those props.
• Suppose component hierarchy is
complex then state management would
be overhead for developers.

• For state management there are couple


of libraries available like Redux ( Most
used )
• React introduced the Context API to
solve the problem of problems of props
drilling and made developers work of

• As React suggests “If you only want to


avoid passing some props through
many levels”
• Context is designed to share data that
can be considered “global” for a tree of
React components.
• Such as the current authenticated user,
theme or preferred language.

Context.Consumer

Questions

to edit Master title style

• Can context replace Redux?


Yeah context can replace Redux, but it
won’t do everything that Redux does. In
Particular, it won’t perform any of the
optimizations that redux gives you for
free. So before you replace Redux with
Context, there’s a thing or two that you
should know about performance.
