I have the below file and I am trying to call setAuthState
however I can’t seem to figure out how to call this function from another file. This context file is content from a mix of online sources with my changes so I think it should work but I am unsure how to call it properly. Everything I find when searching SO and Google is calling the function from inside the context provider like I am already doing inside useEffect
.
I tried importing it as below
screen.js
import useAuth from '../../context/useAuth'
const { setAuthState } = useAuth();
then using it as
setAuthState(credentials)
Files with the actual code
useAuth.js
import { useContext } from 'react';
import AuthContext from 'auth.js';
export default () => {
const context = useContext(AuthContext);
if (context === undefined) {
throw new Error('Error message: <tbd>');
}
return context;
}
auth.js
import React, { createContext, useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { globalStorage } from '../state/global'
const AuthContext = createContext();
const AuthProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [auth, setAuth] = useState(null);
const checkAuth = () => {
try {
// do stuff
} catch(e) {
console.error(e)
}
}
const setAuthState = data => {
try {
// do stuff
setAuth(data);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
};
useEffect(() => {
checkAuth();
}, []);
return (
<AuthContext.Provider value={{ auth, setAuthState}}>
{children}
</AuthContext.Provider>
);
};
export { AuthProvider };
export default AuthContext;

in App.js file or your startup file
make sure you add the authProvider.
