In medium to large React projects, the App.tsx file often turns into a dumping ground for various providers.
From theme providers, i18n, query clients, snackbars, to custom context providers — everything ends up nested inside App.tsx.

The result? A long, hard-to-read, and harder-to-maintain entry file. Here’s what it usually looks like:

👉 Now imagine adding a few more providers. It gets messy fast.

🎯 The Solution: Extract Providers into AppProviders

To make things cleaner, we can move all providers into a dedicated component called AppProviders.

That way, App.tsx stays minimal and focused:

🔍 Why This Approach Is Better

  1. Cleaner StructureApp.tsx only handles the app’s entry, not provider setup.
  2. Easier to Maintain → Add/remove providers in one place (AppProviders.tsx).
  3. Reusable → The provider stack can also be used in Storybook or test environments.
  4. Onboarding Friendly → New developers can quickly understand the app structure.

🚀 By centralizing all context providers into AppProviders, your App.tsx becomes minimal, clean, and focused. You still have all the necessary providers, but they’re organized and easy to manage.
