How do I use the Context API in React Native?

The Context API in React Native allows you to manage global state easily. You can create a context, provide it, and consume it in your components.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! First, create a context using const MyContext = React.createContext();. Then, wrap your app with MyContext.Provider and pass a value.

What if I want to update the context value?

You can use a state variable in the provider component and update it using a function. This way, any component consuming the context will re-render with the new value.

Are there any best practices for using Context API?

Yes! Keep the context value as simple as possible, avoid deep nesting, and consider using multiple contexts for different state slices.
