How to use Context API in React | Stop Prop Drilling | useContext + useState + useEffect

Описание: In this video, we build a *central authentication mechanism* in React using the *Context API* as part of the React for MERN Stack 2026 series.

Instead of passing authentication data through multiple components using props, we create a clean and scalable **global auth mechanism**. You’ll learn how to manage user state at the root level of the application and make it accessible throughout the entire component tree.

🧠 *What We’ll Cover in This Tutorial*

✔ How to create an `AuthContext`
✔ How to build an `AuthProvider`
✔ How to wrap the entire application inside the provider in `main.jsx`
✔ How to persist login using `localStorage`
✔ How to access global auth state using `useContext`
✔ How to prevent cascading render errors
✔ How to structure authentication in a real-world React application

📌 *What You’ll Learn*

✔ Global state management with Context API
✔ Persistent login with localStorage
✔ Clean and scalable authentication architecture
✔ Proper use of `useContext`, `useState`, and `useEffect`
✔ How React re-rendering works with global state

By the end of this video, you will clearly understand how professional React applications handle authentication without prop drilling and how to keep users logged in even after refreshing the page.

This is a foundational concept for building scalable MERN stack applications and production-ready dashboards.
