How do I use the Context API with custom hooks?

To use the Context API with custom hooks, first create a context using React.createContext(). Then, create a provider component that uses the context to pass down values.

Can you show me an example of a custom hook that uses the Context API?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

const MyContext = createContext();

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

export const useMyContext = () => useContext(MyContext);

How do I consume this context in a component?

You can consume the context in any component by using the useMyContext hook:

import React from 'react';
import { useMyContext } from './MyProvider';

const MyComponent = () => {
    const { value, setValue } = useMyContext();
    return <div>{value}</div>;
};

What are the benefits of using custom hooks with the Context API?

Using custom hooks with the Context API allows for better code organization, reusability, and separation of concerns, making your components cleaner.
