Context

• Pitfalls of overusing React Context

• If your state is frequently updated, React Context may not be as effective or efficient as a tool like React Redux. But if you have static data that undergoes lower-frequency updates such as preferred language, time changes, location changes, and user authentication, passing down props with React Context may be the best option.

• If you do choose to use React Context, try to split your large context into multiple contexts as much as possible and keep your state close to its component consumer. This will help you maximize the features and capabilities of React Context, which can be quite powerful in certain scenarios for simple apps.
