Probably the hardest part of React, for me, was getting used to the callbacks. Passing data up to the parent component using a function. It's a little difficult to get used to if you haven't encountered it already
You can pass data to top components from the child ones using the useContext. Use it only if you have data where you want to pass data from multiple child components to the parent one, if you just want to use from one component you are good with states.
I think you're being down voted because context should be used sparingly. You can pass data back up the parent chain through prop functions.
Yes I’m aware, was just giving a suggestion. I even linked to its documentation where all that information is available.
To be fair couldn’t care less if Im voted down or not, if I could I’d have an option to just hide that vote bullshit it’s just visual garbage in the UI. Basically a remnant from centralised social networks from the web2 era.
