React's context API allows you to share data between components without having to pass props down through every level of the component tree. The useContext hook is used to access the value of a context object in a functional component.
Before we can use useContext, we need to create a context object. We can do this with the createContext function from the React library in UserContext.js. Here's an example:
import { createContext } from 'react';
const UserContext = createContext();
export default UserContext;
In this example, we create a new context object called UserContext.
To provide a value to a context, we wrap the relevant components with a Provider component. Here's an example:
import { useState } from 'react';
import UserContext from './UserContext';
import Header from './Header';
function Layout() {
const [user, setUser] = useState({ name: 'John Doe', email: 'johndoe@example.com' });
return (
<UserContext.Provider value={user}>
<Header />
<Main />
<Footer />
</UserContext.Provider>
);
}
export default Layout;
In this example, we provide a user object as the value of the UserContext by wrapping the relevant components with a UserContext.Provider component.
To consume a context value, we use the useContext hook in a functional component. Here's an example:
import { useContext } from 'react';
import UserContext from './UserContext';
function Header() {
const user = useContext(UserContext);
return (
<header>
<h1>{user.name}'s App</h1>
<p>{user.email}</p>
</header>
);
}
export default Header;
In this example, we use useContext to access the value of the UserContext and use it to render the user's name and email in the header of our app.
The useContext hook allows us to access the value of a context object in a functional component. By creating a context and providing a value with a Provider component, we can share data between components without having to pass props down through every level of the component tree. In the next article in this series, we'll cover the useRef hook, which is used for creating mutable references to elements or values.
