I wholeheartedly agree with everything you’ve said here. Personally, I also believe that Context is NOT a state management tool. As the blog post also mentions, Context is a form of DI and state is managed by the code being written by the developer.

The goal of this experiment was mainly to learn more about the ContextAPI, I think that was mentioned in the previous article where I made a bit of a mess of the code.

I’ve read the post you’ve share and it was super helpful to better understand the difference between context and tools like Redux.

Thank you very much 🙏
