Do the portals preserve React context?

[raffidahmad]

From https://tamagui.dev/ui/native

Native portals preserve React context - the default implementation on native uses a JS-based approach that breaks React context, or requires you to hoist data awkwardly. With native portals, your custom contexts (navigation, app state) work inside Sheet, Dialog, Popover, and other portaled content.

Whats the case here?

We use a JS-based portal that breaks external React context by design. We manually bridge our own internal contexts, but users' custom contexts only work if their providers wrap the PortalHost. This is the same limitation Tamagui is highlighting.

did you look into something like https://github.com/kirillzyusko/react-native-teleport
That keep the context if i'm not mistaken?

Yeah, I know this package, testing it on my side project. Maybe it suits better for us, need to check
