A better way of solving prop drilling in React apps
Blog post from LogRocket
Managing state in React applications can often lead to over-reliance on tools like the Context API and Redux, especially when attempting to address issues such as prop drilling, where data is passed through several nested components unnecessarily. This can result in redundancy and performance issues, as components re-render with every state change. The text emphasizes the potential benefits of utilizing React's native state management capabilities and suggests component composition as an effective alternative to prop drilling. Component composition allows developers to build reusable, modular components that can manage their states without the need for excessive use of external libraries. By focusing on container and specialized components, developers can achieve a more efficient and maintainable state management system. The text ultimately advises that while Context can be useful for sharing global data, for local state management, relying on component composition is often a simpler and more effective solution.
