A small React library that reliably propagates state changes to deeply nested components, bypassing intermediaries that block updates via shouldComponentUpdate. It was originally built to let react-router communicate with components deep in the tree when used alongside react-redux.
Use cases
- pass state changes past components that return false from shouldComponentUpdate
- share router state with deeply nested React components
- build a provider/consumer channel without prop drilling
- make react-router work seamlessly with react-redux
- publish state updates to subscribers anywhere in the component tree
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy React app that still depends on it
- working with old React versions that lack the modern Context API
- needing update propagation through shouldComponentUpdate blockers in pre-hooks React
When to avoid
- starting a new React project - use the built-in Context API instead
- using modern React (16.3+) where createContext is native
- needing a maintained solution - the library is experimental and effectively superseded
