Using the use Hook with Context
- In ReactJS 19, the
usehook was introduced to provide a more flexible way of reading context values than theuseContexthook. - The
usehook can be called conditionally insideifstatements and loops, making it ideal for achieving dynamic behaviour in components.
import { createContext, useContext, use } from "react";
import "./app.css";
const ThemeContext = createContext(null);
function Button({ show, children }) {
if (show) {
const theme = use(ThemeContext);
const className = "button-" + theme;
return { children };
}
return null;
}
function App() {
return (
<div>
{/* UI elements go here */}
</div>
);
}
export default App;
