我们也可以对容器使用React Context吗？

Question

This is React's explanation for use of Context

Context is designed to share data that can be considered “global” for a tree of React components, such as the current authenticated user, theme, or preferred language.

While this holds good for React components, is it practical to consider using context to share data between React containers as well? Is there an alternative for Redux or MobX, inbuilt in React?

Answer 1

React Context can be used in place of something like Redux or Flux but you might want to look into using React Context for low-frequency updates (eg theme changes, user authentication) but not use it for the general state management of your application.

This is what Sebastian has to say regarding this....who is greatly involved with React development.

My personal summary is that new context is ready to be used for low frequency unlikely updates (like locale/theme). It's also good to use it in the same way as old context was used. Ie for static values and then propagate updates through subscriptions. It's not ready to be used as a replacement for all Flux-like state propagation. --- Sebastian Markbage
