What is the Context API with Hooks in React?

Can you explain what the Context API with Hooks is in React?

Sure! The Context API allows you to share state across components without prop drilling. When combined with Hooks, it simplifies state management.

How do I create a context and use it with hooks?

You can create a context using React.createContext(), then use the Context.Provider to wrap your components. Use useContext hook to access the context value.

Can you give me a code example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

const MyContext = React.createContext();

const MyProvider = ({ children }) => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('Hello');
  return <MyContext.Provider value={{ value, setValue }}>{children}</MyContext.Provider>;
};

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { value } = useContext(MyContext);
  return <div>{value}</div>;
};

What are the benefits of using Context API with Hooks?

The benefits include easier state management, avoiding prop drilling, and a cleaner component structure.
