About this Workshop

In the typical React data flow, components communicate with each other via props. A parent passes props down to child components. Sometimes the intermediary components get props passed to them with the sole purpose of passing that data down one (or several) more levels deep. This cascade of props is often referred to as "prop drilling". The React Context API provides a way to pass data to components without having to pass props manually at every single level.
