Passing props through many layers just to reach a child component? That’s called prop drilling—and React’s Context API solves it beautifully!
🔹 What is Context API?
It lets you share data globally across components—without passing props manually at every level.
🔹 When to Use It?
Perfect for things like:
• Theme (dark/light)
• Auth/user info
• Language settings
• Global app state
const ThemeContext = React.createContext();
Inside any child:
const theme = useContext(ThemeContext);
🔹 No Redux Needed (Sometimes)
For small to mid-size apps, Context API can be a lightweight alternative to Redux.
🔥 Final Thought:
React Context makes your app cleaner, smarter, and scalable. No more messy prop chains—just shared, readable state!
