I am using Relay modern and I have preloaded query and I want to call the usePreloadedQuery hook in a grandchild/great-grandchild of the component where the query is initially loaded. In the documentation they are passing down the queryReference from the parent to the child. Is there a way to avoid having to pass down the queryReference through the entire parent child hierarchy?
I could possibly use React Context to do this but I am looking for a pure relay based solution.
Right now my only option is to use the useLazyLoadQuery hook in the grandchild component which is not ideal.
This is a related question Access Relay state without passing down props but even in the recommended approach we need to pass the fragmentRef down as props through the entire hierarchy.
Relay is built to work in tandem with React not replace it. I don't see any problem with passing a query reference through React context. Context is simply an implicit way of passing state to children that avoids prop drilling.
