Description

Docs: https://docs.rollbar.com/docs/react#rollbarcontext-component

1 - RollbarContext requires the onRender prop

Calling

<RollbarContext context="home">…</RollbarContext>

doesn't actually set Rollbar's context to 'home'. On further examination of the RollbarContext component, I saw I needed to add a onRender prop for it to work:

<RollbarContext context="home" onRender>…</RollbarContext>

This doesn't align with the docs linked above.

2 - RollbarContext type is incorrect

Given the requirement of the onRender prop, RollbarContext's type is incomplete.
