Context Basics & Avoiding Prop Drilling
Learn Context basics: create a context, wrap with Provider, consume with useContext, and replace prop drilling for shared settings.
Why Context?
Goal: Share values (theme, user, locale) across the tree without prop drilling.
- Create a Context
- Wrap with a Provider
- Read via useContext
Prop drilling explained
Prop drilling = passing props through layers that don’t need them. It clutters code and makes refactors harder.
