React Hook + Context api

Question

I am fairly new to React Hooks and context api. I am trying to create a global state management within react (no redux) but I am running into this error.

TypeError: undefined is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))

I just started this project and just trying to set up a shopping cart (which will use the global CartItem to keep track of total items)

GlobalStates.jsx (My global state manager file)

import React from 'react';

export const CartContext = React.createContext(0)

const GlobalContextWrapper = (props) => {
    const [cartItem,incCartItem] = React.useState(0);
    return(
        <CartContext.Provider value={[cartItem,incCartItem]}>
            {props.children}
        </CartContext.Provider>
    )
}

export default GlobalContextWrapper

index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import GlobalContextWrapper from "./GlobalStates.jsx"

import Test from "./Test.jsx"

const Main = () => {
    return(
      <GlobalContextWrapper>
        <Test/>
      </GlobalContextWrapper>
    )
}

ReactDOM.render(<Main/>,document.getElementById('root'));

Test.jsx (the file which is trying to access the context global states)

import React from 'react';
import CartContext from "./GlobalStates"

const Test = () => {
    const [cartItem,incCartItem] = React.useContext(CartContext)
    return(
        <h1>The cart total is {cartItem}</h1>
    )
}

export default Test

Your code works just fine, but in Test you need to import the context correctly: import {CartContext} from "./GlobalStates"

 const CartContext = React.createContext(0); const GlobalContextWrapper = (props) => { const [cartItem, incCartItem] = React.useState(0); return ( <CartContext.Provider value={[cartItem, incCartItem]}> {props.children} </CartContext.Provider> ); }; const Test = () => { const [cartItem, incCartItem] = React.useContext( CartContext ); return <h1>The cart total is {cartItem}</h1>; }; const Main = () => { return ( <GlobalContextWrapper> <Test /> </GlobalContextWrapper> ); }; ReactDOM.render(<Main />, document.getElementById('root'));
