Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child using Expo

Question

I am trying to use React's new Context api in my React Native application (using Expo). However I get an error. Please note, I only get this error when I try to abstract away the Context.Provider into a Component.
Here is my UserContext.js code:

import React from "react";
import { SecureStore } from 'expo';
import { AUTH_TOKEN, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL } from '../constants/config'

// Signed-in user context
const UserContext = React.createContext();

export class UserContextProvider extends React.Component {

constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
    token: SecureStore.getItemAsync(AUTH_TOKEN) || "",
    firstName: SecureStore.getItemAsync(FIRST_NAME) || "",
    lastName: SecureStore.getItemAsync(LAST_NAME) || "",
    email: SecureStore.getItemAsync(EMAIL) || "",
    };
    this.setUserContext = this.setUserContext.bind(this);
}

setUserContext = (authToken, firstName, lastName, email) => {
    SecureStore.setItem(AUTH_TOKEN, authToken);
    SecureStore.setItem(FIRST_NAME, firstName);
    SecureStore.setItem(LAST_NAME, lastName);
    SecureStore.setItem(EMAIL, email);
    this.setState({
    authToken, firstName, lastName, email
    });
};

render() {
    const {children} = this.props;

    return (
    <UserContext.Provider
        value={{
        ...this.state,
        setUserContext: this.setUserContext,
        }}
    >
        // TODO: Render UserContext presentation component here

        <React.Fragment>
        {children}
        </React.Fragment>
    </UserContext.Provider>
    );
}
}

export const UserContextConsumer = UserContext.Consumer;

Here is part of my App.js code, where I use the UserContextProvider. Please note this is the root of my app:

import { UserContextProvider } from "./contexts/UserContext";

export default () => {
return (
    <ApolloProvider client={client}>
    <UserContextProvider componentChildren={Root}>
        <Root/>
    </UserContextProvider>
    </ApolloProvider>
);
}

I use the UserContextConsumer in one my screens (or components) in the following manner. Please note, the error is thrown when I navigate to the screen in which the below code resides:

import { UserContextConsumer } from '../contexts/UserContext';

.
.
.
<Text style={styles.textLink}>
    <UserContextConsumer>
    {context => {
        return context.token
    }}
    </UserContextConsumer>
</Text>

I am getting the following error:

Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {_40, _65, _55, _72}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

Please let me know if you need additional information. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Ok, I don't how couldn't I see this at the first look but you are trying to render an object directly: token. Here:

<UserContextConsumer>
    {context => {
        return context.token
    }}
</UserContextConsumer>

So, you want to render a property of it maybe?

<UserContextConsumer>
    {context => {
        return context.token._40
    }}
</UserContextConsumer>

Or you can use it in other ways of course, but you can't render it directly.
