Using `useFlags` outside of the `LDProvider` context does not raise an error

[davidli3100]

Take the following example code (highly simplified):

const flags = useFlags()

return <LDProvider>{children}</LDProvider>

The call to useFlags occurs outside of the LDProvider context, thus resulting in an empty flags object {}. However, this does not raise some warning/error in the console, which would be helpful for catching this in less obvious cases.

Thanks @yusinto!

We could try catch the react error dispatcher is null but we follow the react's team design to let the application do this. You can easily wrap a try catch in your application this way if you choose to:

  try {
    const flags = useFlags();
  } catch(e) {
    console.log(`Provider not setup: ${e}`)
  }
