How can I access the context from the component function?

I am currently defining a default context when creating the router, but I have no way to access it through the component. What I have to do is use the loader function, and then use the hook useLoaderData inside the component. It is very cumbersome to do and repetitive and I would like that through the arguments passed to the component function I get the context instead of doing all those steps above each time and so I also avoid using unnecessary hooks.

const router = createRouter({
  // eslint-disable-next-line react/prop-types
  Wrap: ({ children }) => {
    return <ConfigProvider theme={{ cssVar: true }}>{children}</ConfigProvider>;
  },
  context: {
    theme: theme.getDesignToken({ cssVar: true }),
  },
  routeTree,
});

export const Route = createRootRouteWithContext<{ theme: AliasToken }>()({
  component: Root,
});

export function Root() {
  return (
    <>
      <Outlet />
      <TanStackRouterDevtools />
    </>
  );
}

// Current solution
export const Route = createFileRoute('/')({
  component: () => {
    return (
      <>
        <HomePage />
      </>
    );
  },
  loader: ({ context }) => {
    return {
      ...context,
    };
  },
});

export function HomePage() {
  const x = Route.useLoaderData();

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Welcome Home! {x.theme.blue}</h3>
    </div>
  );
}

// Better solution
export const Route = createFileRoute('/')({
  component: () => {
    return (
      <>
        <HomePage />
      </>
    );
  }
});

export function HomePage({ context: x }) {

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Welcome Home! {x.theme.blue}</h3>
    </div>
  );
}

It's available on matches, so useRouterState or useMatches should give you the context for each match:

It's not working:

I see that with useMatches it comes in the loaderData property, but as I mentioned, isn't there a way to do it without hooks?

Let the component that renders the path receive that as props.

components that render on a route don't receive any props. You get loader data with useLoaderData(). You get path params with useParams(). And you can get context with useMatches() and then access .context. It's even shown in your image ...
