Uncaught TypeError: Cannot destructure property when using React context

Hello guys so i tried to make global state so the other page can use the state. The problem is i got an error that says:

Login.js:18 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'emailLog' of '(0 , react__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.useContext)(...)' as it is undefined.

Im doing this because i want the email from user after logged in and pass them to another page so that i can display the logged in user.

App.js:

export const EmailUser = React.createContext();

function App() {
  Axios.defaults.withCredentials = true;

  const [invoice, setInvoice] = useState("");
  const [currency, setCurrency] = useState("IDR");
  const [myFile, setMyFile] = useState("");
  const [emailLog, setEmailLog] = useState("");

  return (
    <EmailUser.Provider value={{ emailLog, setEmailLog }}>
      <div className="App">
        <BasicExample />
        <div className="formInput">
          <form method="POST" encType="multipart/form-data" action="http://localhost:3001/upload">
            <div className="textUser"></div>

            <input
              className="inputForm"
              defaultValue={emailLog}
              type="email"
              disabled
              name="email"
            />

            <input className="inputForm" type="number" placeholder="Invoice No" name="InvoiceNo" />

            <input className="inputForm" type="date" name="Invoice_Date" />

            <input className="inputForm" type="text" placeholder="Description" name="Description" />

            <select
              className="selectBox"
              name="Currency"
              onChange={(e) => {
                setCurrency(e.target.value);
              }}
            >
              <option value="IDR">IDR</option>
              <option value="USD">USD</option>
              <option value="YEN">YEN</option>
            </select>

            <input className="inputForm" type="number" placeholder="Amount" name="Amount" />

            <input
              className="custom-file-upload"
              multiple
              type="file"
              name="DocumentFile"
              onChange={(e) => {
                setMyFile(e.target.value);
              }}
            />

            <button className="btnSubmit">Submit</button>
          </form>
        </div>
      </div>
    </EmailUser.Provider>
  );
}

export default App;

Login.js

const Login = () => {
  let navigate = useNavigate();

  const { emailLog, setEmailLog } = useContext(EmailUser);
  const [passwordLog, setPasswordLog] = useState("");

  const [loginStatus, setLoginStatus] = useState("");

  Axios.defaults.withCredentials = true;

  const login = (e) => {

      if (response.data.message) {

      } else {
        setLoginStatus(response.data[0].email);
        alert("Redirecting");
        navigate("/home");
      }
    });
  };
  console.log(emailLog);

  useEffect(() => {
    Axios.get("http://localhost:3001/login").then((response) => {
      if (response.data.loggedIn == true) {
        setLoginStatus(response.data.email[0].email);
      }

  });

EmailUser context works only with the components that are children of EmailUser.Provider, and it doesn’t seem to be the case for Login component. An easy way is to create a separate component, in some EmailUserProvider.js, like so:

import {createContext, useState} from "react"
export const EmailUser = createContext();
export default function EmailUserProvider({children}) {
  const [emailLog, setEmailLog] = useState("");
  return (
    <EmailUser.Provider value={{ emailLog, setEmailLog }}>
     {children}
    </EmailUser.Provider>
  );
}

And make it wrap all the components that would consume it. If I assume all my components and routes are rendered in App and want the context to be global, I would do so:

<EmailUserProvider>
  <App/>
</EmailUserProvider>
