context should propagate across React.renderComponent()

[petehunt]

I really want this to work: http://jsfiddle.net/RxRK8/

This would be great. I currently use this.transferPropsTo(...) through most of my app to avoid explicitly passing down my core application objects.

From what I've observed, context seems to only propagate to children that are explicitly created in render(). I would also like to know if this is going to change in the future.

👍 this functionality seems really useful

At the very least it would be nice if cloneWithProps inherited the context, but that doesn't seem to be the case either

I'm with @petehunt. Knowing that React.withContext will be deprecated, there are few options to handle this.

👍 Maybe the deprecation of React.withContext was premature.

Context is going to be parent-based, so this request is obsolete. Closing.
