React Context for React Native - How to Access Data From Further Down the Component Tree
Hi everyone!
Today, I will share with you how to use React’s Context within your React Native App! While this tutorial is for react native, the same will apply if you use Context in your React website. I will show you how to setup a provider with a default value and how to override that default value and then consume the data which is shared throughout your app. This can keep your code cleaner where you need to access data from multiple places. This is commonly used for providing a shared theme throughout the application. I have personally used it in a tab bar application to provide a shared state between all tabs.
You will find React’s documentation on Context here:

And you can find my usage of React Context in today’s tutorial here:

// ABOUT ME
My name is Chelsea and I started studying software engineering in 2010. I have been working commercially full time since 2014 and have been in various positions from graduate developer to tech lead to solution architect.
I'm a full stack developer with a lot of experience in C# and Javascript but my passion is for mobile development; specifically native iOS development and cross platform using React Native.
I always have many things on the go and am always trying out a new side hustle and failing at it; perhaps you can learn from my mistakes!
