JavaScript Refactor the Consumers

How would you enforce the types of expected data if you use the Context API?

As you refactor the code, you remove items from the propType object and I didn't see you checking the data anywhere else. To my understanding, that could lead to instances where a certain data type is expected, but a different data type is provided. Is there a recommended way to do data type validation with using the Context API?

My guess would be with TypeScript. Instead of specifying prop types you'd write your code in TypeScript and get any errors or warnings when transpiling.
