Any way to get Context value in component constructor method in ReactJS

Question

Is there any way to get and handle a context value in another place except render method like constructor or a custom function that I declared in my component class?

In a way that I know, the consumer tag surrounds the fetch function but, I don't want to handle value in consumer tag.

Any idea?

I don't think that this is a duplicate, the linked question asks how to get context in lifecycle callbacks, while this one asks about getting it in the constructor. The approach proposed in the accepted answer doesn't work for constructor. — johnny

yes you can use ``` constructor(props, context){ super(props, context) // this.context } — Adam
