✨ Features

• Memoized wrapper around React.createContext

🤹‍ Usage

Installing

$ npm install --save create-shared-react-context

Example

import createSharedReactContext from 'create-shared-react-context';

const context = createSharedReactContext({}, 'someIdentifier');

🎛️ API

createSharedReactContext takes two arguments: defaultValue and key.

defaultValue is the same default value that would be used in createContext.

key is the identifier used to ensure that any subsequent call of createSharedReactContext will return any previous created context with the same identifier.

Motivation

In a modular application, sharing functionality between bundled modules with their own dependencies can be done in a myriad of ways. If one wanted to be able to pass functionality using React Context, but each module has their own instance of the dependency creating that context, the Provider used at the top would fail to pass context down to the Consumer, as the reference would be different. You could declare that dependency as an external, so that the reference used by each module would be shared, but sometimes a dependency may not require a separate instance to function.
