First of all I’m going to show you something called Prop Drilling, which all by it self is not a bad thing, it is a pattern that you will come to get to know while working with React. However, as you will see in this video it can bacome pretty unwieldy very fast if you don’t plan composition of your components.

So when sending data between components becomes very complex you can alleviate the situation with Context API which you can use to send data to nested components or even as a simple state management tool. It’s very cool as you will see.
