Sharing data using context Hooks

React applications often have a few pieces of data that are global in nature. This means that several components, possibly every component in the app, share this data. For example, information about the currently logged-in user might be used in several places. In cases like this, it makes sense to provide a context where this data can be easily accessed by components that are rendered in this context.

In this section, you'll learn how to consume context data and how to consume it using Hooks.
