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! First, you create a context using const MyContext = React.createContext();. Then, you can use a Provider to pass the value to its children.

How do I consume the context in a component?

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

What are the benefits of using React Context?

The main benefits are avoiding prop drilling, managing global state easily, and improving code organization.
