What's the point of context in clientLoader, and how to use it? | Remix | Page 1

I mean, I know that you can create a context in the server and pass it to loaders. But seeing as that same context isn't being passed to clientLoaders, just wondering where I would make a context for them. Thanks!

right now it's not possible to use it

#

but there's a PR to add support to customize it https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/12515

once that's merged you will be able to pass a context object to createBrowserRouter and in framework mode to HydratedRouter

#

then that value will be accessible in your client loaders

got it. yeah, was just looking through the pr. that's really interesting. that would mean that we'd be making another layer essentially. before mounting our app, we'd need to get/set everything in our client context. if that stuff is asynchronous, how would ssr look like?

#

just rambling here 😆

#

that shouldn't affect SSR

#

on SSR the client loaders never run

#

so your app will SSR as always
