#1

how can I have a state in react which can be accessed anywhere ,like I have to check if admin has logged in if admin is logged in then show him certain features that are not visible to other users

If you want something to have access to the state of another object it has to be passed as props

To access state anywhere in react, use global state managers like react-redux or context.

yeah,but finding other way around cuz project is not that big

If project is small you have to use props or maybe try using global variables outside all the components. You can put all the components within one file to experiment the behaviour then modularize it as you see fit.

If project is not that big, then try to make a global state in app component then pass it through as a props to all this childrens.

I think he is trying to avoid passing props

I’m not exactly sure what you are looking for but if you search github for ‘react global state’ or ‘react global context’ you might find something there?
