export MathboxAPIContext?

[sritchie]

I'm testing out the idea of components that can configure Threestrap plugins; to get access to those, I'd like to use useContext to get the existing selection and access renderer, controls etc from there.

@ChristopherChudzicki, what do you think of exposing MathboxAPIContext from mathbox-react?

[ChristopherChudzicki]

MathboxAPIContext:

• can be used as <MathboxAPIContext.Provider value={...} /> to set the context value
• can be used in useContext(MathboxAPIContext) to consume the context value

I don't think that library consumers should ever need to set the context value... that should be done automatically when using components (Group, Mathbox, hypothetical Root, etc). I could well be wrong, and if there is a need to set the context value, let me know.

So I would rather expose something like

export const useMathbox = () => {
  return useContext(MathboxAPIContext)
}

That seems like a reasonable thing to do to me.

Yes, that's much better! I don't have any need to set, just use, so this is better for sure.

@sritchie This should be available now:

import { useMathbox } from "mathbox-react"

Although I suppose there's still confusion around the casing...
