Mega Web Development Bootcamp with React Bootstrap 5, Redux, and REST API - Props Versus Context API

The video tutorial covers the use of context and props in React for passing data between components. It begins with importing necessary hooks and functions, followed by an explanation of context and props. The tutorial demonstrates how to pass data using props and addresses common errors encountered during implementation. Finally, it introduces the context API as a more efficient method for global data management in React applications.

Which of the following hooks is NOT mentioned as necessary in the initial setup of the app JS file?

• useReducer

• createContext

• useEffect

• useState

What is a limitation of using props to pass data from parent to child components?

• Props can only be used with class components

• Props are not supported in React

• Props require a lot of repetitive code

• Props can only pass numbers

What common error might occur if state values are set incorrectly in a React component?

• Infinite loop

• Syntax error

• Type mismatch

• Memory leak

What is the primary advantage of using the context API over props?

• It simplifies the use of lifecycle methods

• It enables global data sharing across components

• It allows for faster rendering

• It reduces the need for state management

Which of the following is NOT a step in implementing the context API?

• Passing props manually

• Using the context

• Providing a context value

• Creating a context

What is the purpose of the useContext hook?

• To manage component lifecycle

• To update the state

• To use an existing context

• To create a new context

How does the context API improve data flow in a React application?

• By reducing the number of components

• By eliminating the need for state

• By increasing the speed of the application

• By allowing data to be passed globally
