@saasquatch/component-environment

Provides the environment for running SaaSquatch web components.

SaaSquatch web components can run in a number of different environments, including:

• in a widget via squatch-js
• in a microsite (portal)
• in a mobile SDK (i.e. squatch-android)
• in the admin portal

In each environment, a different set of context information about the tenant, user and program are provided, and the goal of this package is to normalize the differences in environments to provide a common API.

The environment is provided in a set of contexts through dom-context, which provides vanilla global context providers. They can be accessed through a raw ContextListener or via useDomContext in dom-context-hooks.
