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, Aug 14 '19 at 15:35
yes you can use ``` constructor(props, context){ super(props, context) // this.context } — Adam, Aug 20 '19 at 08:09
