How React Context is related to React-Redux?
Both react context and react-redux can be used for managing the state in the react app. They have similarities and difference both.
- As we create Context we can create a store in redux and useContext also works similarly to useSelector in redux.
- React Context re-renders all the components that are using the context value on any state change which results in performance issues. But in redux, only those components re-renders whareis subscribed to the particular state.
- In terms of usage, React Context is easier to learn and simpler to set up whereas react redux is a bit difficult for beginners and complex to set up.
- We can create multiple contexts in the react app but we have only one store while using redux.
What is the use of React Context in React-Redux?
React Context is a feature that React provides us to manage states required in multiple components. Redux is also a state management library and solves the same problem that React Context does but in a different way. In this article, we will see in detail what is react context, why and how to use it, how it is related to and different from react-redux, and then at last we’ll see which one to use and when.
