Problem to consume context inside a column template

[Angelo]

I need to consume and listen changes of a React context inside a column template.

 

See the example below:

https://codesandbox.io/s/syncfusion-ej2-react-grids-template-issue-c28zo

 

In this example, I have two column template components:

• ColTemplateFixed: Works fine using as a template or not. It doesn't use "useContext"
• ColTemplateDynamic: Works fine outside the grid but it doesn't work when used as column template. It use "useContext".

I put two "console.log" in ColTemplateDynamic to check.

The grid start the render but crashes silently when try to call "useContext".

 

I think that the problem is in file: "@syncfusion/ej2-react-base/src/template.js" in this instruction: "ReactDOM.render(actTemplate(actData), ele);"

When the grid uses "ReactDOM.render" to render the template, I lose the ability to access the context.

Redux not works because it uses context, too.

There's another way to make this work?
