Context Wrapper en React

Prevent direct access of your components to the application context!

The concept of Component in React is based on reuse. An ideal component should work in any application, without modifications. Component libraries are the perfect example: they offer highly customizable parts.

Although we do not reach that level of sophistication, we can create reusable components that are easily transferable between applications. The key lies in an appropriate design strategy that protects our components from the particularities of the context and business rules of the current application.

This strategy is known as Context Wrapper. It consists of isolating the context one level above the component that needs it, and passing the data through props.

In this way, common problems are avoided during the migration of components, where we would usually have to modify the component or the context of the target application. With this approach, we simply copy the component and use it, providing the necessary props.

We admit that Context Wrapper is not the most elegant solution, as it can generate component subclasses that, if not managed correctly, can make development complex. We will address this topic in a future publication.
