Function leptos::provide_context

pub fn provide_context<T>(cx: Scope, value: T)where
    T: Clone + 'static,

Provides a context value of type T to the current reactive Scope and all of its descendants. This can be consumed using use_context.

This is useful for passing values down to components or functions lower in a hierarchy without needs to “prop drill” by passing them through each layer as arguments to a function or properties of a component.

Context works similarly to variable scope: a context that is provided higher in the component tree can be used lower down, but a context that is provided lower in the tree cannot be used higher up.

use leptos::*;

// define a newtype we'll provide as context
// contexts are stored by their types, so it can be useful to create
// a new type to avoid confusion with other `WriteSignal<i32>`s we may have
// all types to be shared via context should implement `Clone`
#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
struct ValueSetter(WriteSignal<i32>);

#[component]
pub fn Provider(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    let (value, set_value) = create_signal(cx, 0);
     
    // the newtype pattern isn't *necessary* here but is a good practice
    // it avoids confusion with other possible future `WriteSignal<bool>` contexts
    // and makes it easier to refer to it in ButtonD
    provide_context(cx, ValueSetter(set_value));

    // because <Consumer/> is nested inside <Provider/>,
    // it has access to the provided context
    view! { cx, <div><Consumer/></div> }
}

#[component]
pub fn Consumer(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    // consume the provided context of type `ValueSetter` using `use_context`
    // this traverses up the tree of `Scope`s and gets the nearest provided `ValueSetter`
    let set_value = use_context::<ValueSetter>(cx).unwrap().0;
