What is React Context and how do I use it?

React Context is a way to manage state globally in a React application. It allows you to share values between components without having to pass props down manually at every level.

Can you give me an example of how to create a context?

Sure! You can create a context using const MyContext = React.createContext();. Then, you can use MyContext.Provider to wrap your components and pass a value.

How do I consume the context in a child component?

You can consume the context using the useContext hook. For example, const value = useContext(MyContext); inside your child component.

What are the benefits of using React Context?

The main benefits are easier state management, avoiding prop drilling, and making your components more reusable.
