How does Svelte's context API improve component reusability?

By decoupling data sharing from component hierarchy, components can be reused without needing to pass many props explicitly.

Which Svelte function is used to provide a store to child components via context?

Child components use getContext with the same key to access the store.

What problem does using context with stores solve in Svelte apps?

A Makes components class-based

B Improves CSS styling

C Avoids prop drilling

Can you share functions using Svelte's context API?

A No, only stores

B Yes, any JavaScript value

C Only primitives

D Only objects

Svelte's context API can share any JavaScript value, including functions.

What is required to use a store from context in a child component?

A Import the store directly

B Use <code>setContext</code> again

C Declare a new store

D Use <code>getContext</code> with the correct key

You must use getContext with the key used in setContext to access the store.

Explain how you would share a writable store from a parent to a deeply nested child component using Svelte's context API.

Think about how setContext and getContext work together with stores.

Describe the benefits of using context with stores instead of passing stores through props in Svelte.

Consider how data flows in nested components.
