Implementing Context

With Context, we can implement the application state, as you'll learn in this chapter. To implement Context, we'll create a basic React application that needs state. The application itself will be a news application. It's a simple app, but I want to highlight the architectural challenges as I walk through the implementation. Even simple apps get complex when you're paying attention to what's going on with the data.

We'll build the web version, and then you could implement the same patterns on a React Native app for iOS and Android. You'll see how you can share architectural concepts between your apps. This lowers the conceptual overhead when you need to implement the same application on several platforms.

You're implementing two apps right now, but this will likely be more in the future as React expands its rendering capabilities.

The basis of implementing Context for a React application is importing...
