Any plans for CreateContext API support like React 16 ?

maybe this can be converted to inferno ? https://github.com/rognstadragnar/preact-context-utilities

If anyone needs this, I converted create-react-context polyfill to inferno so basic functionality of CreateContext API should work.

based on this polyfill I converted unstated lib to inferno as well. This is a simple, based on component's state alternative to redux or mobx for inferno

Can you paste an example of how this would work within a react app using inferno-compat? What's the alias in webpack look like?

@tamb maybe something like preactjs/preact#963 (comment) ?

[smcatala]

for the record, here is another way of adding the createContext function, e.g. for developing inferno components in storybook:
first install create-react-context for react,
then add the following inferno-compat.js script to your project, e.g. in a lib/ folder at the root of your project:

import React from 'inferno-compat'
export default React
export * from 'inferno-compat'
// bypass export of React.createContext
import createContext from 'create-react-context/lib/implementation'
export { createContext }

finally, add the following alias in the browser field of your project's package.json:

  'react': './lib/inferno-compat'
  'react-dom': './lib/inferno-compat'

So how can i use createContext in infernojs? What is right/recommended way?

This is still an issue. Is there any action that's being taken?
