Problem Overview
The Context API in React is a powerful feature that allows you to share state across your application without prop drilling. Here’s how to manage state with it:
- Create a Context: Use
const MyContext = React.createContext();to create a new context. - Provide Context: Wrap your application or component tree with
<MyContext.Provider value={state}></MyContext.Provider>. - Consume Context: Use
const value = useContext(MyContext);in any child component to access the shared state.
This approach simplifies state management across deeply nested components without the need for external libraries like Redux.
