Using prop drilling
In this first state management approach, we will store the user, permissions, and loading state in the App component. The App component will then pass this state to the Header and Main components using props.
So, this approach uses React features that we are already aware of. The approach is referred to as prop drilling because the state is passed down the component tree using props.
