Module: Context

Overview​

This new module type allows you to connect components via a shared context. You can create a context that two components, e.g. a viewport and a panel can use to synchronize and communicate. An extensive example of this can be seen in the longitudinal mode’s custom extensions.

const ExampleContext = React.createContext();

function ExampleContextProvider({ children }) {
return (
<ExampleContext.Provider value={{ example: 'value' }}>
{children}
</ExampleContext.Provider>
);
}

const getContextModule = () => [
{
name: 'ExampleContext',
context: ExampleContext,
provider: ExampleContextProvider,
},
];
