sdk-react gen2 useContext about builder HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks, I will check it out

Hi. Just following up. We'd like to use the GEN2 SDKs but there is no way to update the BuilderStoreContext with a new state. Could you enlighten us please?

Hi @woellij , can you describe what you are trying to achieve in more detail so that we can help? As in, what is the end goal you have? Are you trying to pass functions to be used within Builder content? Set an initial state for Builder content?

Hi @mrkoreye ,
The Goal is to Update the state from a custom component.
Im our case there is a custom component in which the User can select a product which should cause an update to the state, so text on the page can bind to the product's properties.
We have other uses for the state and context (passing state and context props to child components)

@woellij Thanks for reporting. The context exists but is not currently being exported by the Gen2 SDKs.

I will let you know here when it is fixed.

@woellij v1.0.19 now exports BuilderContext:

Hi.
I had a look and while i can reference the BuilderContext in useContext, there is no real typescript type information and one would have to resort to the builder.io sourcecode to find out about BuilderContextInterface.
In my opinion that's not really optimal.

Also, the text does not update when the rootState is updated with rootSetState. Is there a way to accomplish that from a custom Component? If the state is set through an Action configured in builder.io the text updates.
