How do I implement context hooks in my React app?

To implement context hooks, you can use the useContext hook along with createContext. First, create a context using createContext(), then wrap your component tree with a Context.Provider.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import React, { createContext, useContext, useState } from 'react';

const MyContext = createContext();

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

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

const App = () => (
    <MyProvider>
        <MyComponent />
    </MyProvider>
);

This sets up a context and a provider.

What are the benefits of using context hooks?

Using context hooks allows for easier state management across components without prop drilling. It also enhances code readability and maintainability.

Are there any performance concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, excessive re-renders can occur if the context value changes frequently. To mitigate this, consider memoizing values or splitting contexts.
