Make Compound React Components Flexible
Share this video with your friends
Our current compound component implementation is great, but it's limited in that users cannot render the structure they need. Let's allow the user to have more flexibility by using React context to share the implicit state to our child <Toggle/> components. We will walk through using React's official context API with React.createContext and use the given Provider and Consumer components to share state implicitly between our compound components giving our users the flexibility they need out of our component.
Hey Kent! enjoying a lot this course so far! I am wondering about the use of context, in our company we are still using React 15, and we would like to migrate soon to 16. We are using context in some places, however we know that the API was experimental and actually it was not recommended to use it. I am wondering if for 16 is safe to use, I also notice that the way of using it is a bit different, so maybe now is "stable" and ready to go. Thanks!
Hi Cristofer,
The new context API is stable and recommended for use. Learn more here, here, and here.
