Compound Components

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’Ό In this exercise we're going to make <Toggle /> the parent of a few compound components:
  • <ToggleOn /> renders children when the on state is true
  • <ToggleOff /> renders children when the on state is false
  • <ToggleButton /> renders the <Switch /> with the on prop set to the on state and the onClick prop set to toggle.
We have a Toggle component that manages the state, and we want to render different parts of the UI however we want. We want control over the presentation of the UI.
πŸ¦‰ The fundamental challenge you face with an API like this is the state shared between the components is implicit, meaning that the developer using your component cannot actually see or interact with the state (on) or the mechanisms for updating that state (toggle) that are being shared between the components.
So in this exercise, we'll solve that problem by using the πŸ“œ React Context API!
What we want to do in this exercise is allow users of our component to render something when the toggle button is on and to render something else when that toggle button is off without troubling them with managing the state that's controlling whether it's shown or not.
Your job will be to make a ToggleContext which will be used to implicitly share the state between these components. The Toggle component will render the ToggleContext and the other compound components will access that implicit state via use(ToggleContext).
🦺 TypeScript might not like your use call depending on how you set up your context. We'll deal with this in another step.
