Implementing React from Scratch
A detailed explanation of the architecture I used to rebuild react
The actual code i wrote for this seems quite a bit more convoluted than what I described since there's some book keeping needed because of conditional elements (empty slots). While SomeComponet does read data provided by SomeContext.Provider, SomeContext.Provider simply broadcasts a value, it's not creating react state that can be updated + cause a re-render (there is no setter associated with it). To avoid this, I ended up performing a minor optimization and de-normalizing the view tree by storing the parent as a property on the child node.
