State Management

In the web application, there are four context providers used for managing the state across different components. These context providers ensure that certain states are preserved and accessible throughout the application, enhancing the user experience and maintaining consistency.

AuthConext

• Description: Manages the authentication state of the user.

• Sets and preserves the authentication state (authState) once the user logs in.
• Ensures that the authentication state remains active until the user logs out.
• Provides methods to log in, log out, and check the current authentication status.

• Components that need to check if a user is authenticated or access user-specific data will consume this context.

DarkMode Context

• Description: Manages the dark mode state of the application.

• Preserves the dark mode state (isDarkMode) across the application while the user is logged in.
• Allows users to toggle between dark mode and light mode.

• Components that need to apply dark mode styling or allow users to switch themes will consume this context.

ProfilePhoto Context

• Manages the user's profile photo state.

• Ensures the profile photo is preserved and accessible as long as the user is logged in.
• Allows updating of the profile photo.

• Components that display the user's profile photo or allow the user to update their photo will consume this context.

Search Context

• Manages the state of the user's search queries.

• Preserves the search query (searchQuery) made by the user.
• Updates the search query when the user makes a new search.
• Clears the search query when the user logs out or changes it upon a new search.

• Components that perform searches or display search results will consume this context.

Additional Information

Context Providers Implementation

• Each context provider is implemented using React's Context API.
• The context providers are typically wrapped around the root component of the application or specific component trees to ensure the state is globally accessible.

Benefits

• Centralized State Management: Centralizes the management of critical states, making the application easier to maintain and debug.
• Consistent User Experience: Ensures a consistent user experience by preserving states like authentication, theme preference, profile photo, and search queries across different sessions and components.
• Seamless Integration Integrates seamlessly with React components, allowing for easy state sharing and updates.

By utilizing these context providers, the web application maintains a cohesive and user-friendly environment, ensuring that user preferences and states are preserved and managed efficiently.
