The Context API

A way to better manage application state and redcue prop-drilling, but not as complicated as Redux

Step 1: Creating and Providing Context

• A basic example
  • Don't forget the default value
• Set-up with Context Provider & State in a separate file

Step 2: Consuming Context in a child component

• Basic example of using context in a child component and eliminating some prop-drilling

Step 3: Hooking up Context with State

• Linking state and state-updating functions to context
• Converting the rest of the project app to use context
