I got on the Redux band wagon pretty early on. From using Redux I developed a lot of habits - programming patterns that just made sense.

When Redux started to fall out of favor for other alternatives I felt lost at times. Particularly around how I could share global state throughout my app and still tap into the wonderful rendering engine that we have in React (Native).

Today I want to show you how to master the usage of React Context - a means to globally share data in your app.

Throughout this class I'm going to be talking about a lot of concepts. Focus on the concept presented in the lesson. At the end I'll provide an example that pulls everything we discuss together that you can run.

This course is awesome for anyone who needs to get started developing mobile application in React Native. I took the course and I learned some of the best practices required when using React Native. I particularly liked the directory structure and the use of the Context API to manage global state. I would recommend anyone to take the course.
