Prop drilling was draining my time and patience until one concept changed everything.

While building a React project, I was stuck passing props through multiple components. It was too time consuming.

Then I discovered React Context API, and it completely flipped the game.

Prop drilling is like the old landline system, connected by wires. If one wire breaks, the connection dies.

But Context API is like a mobile network, sending signals directly to whichever component needs it.

One shared state. Clean code. Zero headache.

If you're still drilling props manually, this might be your “aha!” moment.

😃 What was your “aha!” moment while learning React?

Today I learned React Router and My brain hurts (In a good way )

As it was a part of my bootcamp, I didn't had any clue what the heck it was. But by time while learning I felt it's importance.
I am listing all the learnings (I know you might get bored, but I will try my best to make you feel less bore)

I learned
-How to navigate through page to page with react router
-Learned the usage of Link and NavLink, nested routing, outlet.
-Also learned how to load data using react router components: Loader and loadUserData.
-Learned to create dynamic path and rendering dynamic path.
-Explored dynamic route, params and load data based on dynamic route.
-Learned the usage of useNavigate and useNavigator(),
-Tried to load data in the component without route
-learned to add 404 Not found (Most crucial, because someone going to break it for sure 😅).
-Explored useLocation hook.

I learned a lot. Honestly, I feel more happier being productive than being lazy and relaxed.
