π§ββοΈ I was playing around with the app and I realized that we have a default value
for our context provider. So I thought maybe we
could remove the context provider. Unfortunately
that didn't work. Do you know why?
π¨βπΌ Yeah, it's because even though the
searchParams
are shared, they're not
updated when calling setSearchParams
. This is because the searchParams
object is no longer state. It's just a plain object. So when we call
setSearchParams
, nothing rerenders (and even if it did, it wouldn't have
the updated searchParams
).So having a default in our context is pretty meaningless. So why don't we
default it to
null
and then in our useSearchParams()
hook we can throw an
error if the context is null
? Go ahead and give it a try.When you're done, the app should be working again.
