Context API

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

React's built-in way to pass data deeply through the component tree without manually threading props through every intermediate component ('prop drilling').

How to Learn This

  • 1Build a simple theme (light/dark) context and consume it in a nested component.
  • 2Learn that context updates re-render every consumer — use it thoughtfully.
  • 3Compare Context to prop drilling and to full state-management libraries.
