React Context API not working from custom NPM component library

问题

I've built a ReactJS component library that I use for multiple projects installed via an NPM package using a sim link. I want to use the context API to pass data from a parent component served from the component library to my base project to be consumed by multiple consumer components also served from the component library. When I try the context is always undefined in my child components.

If I place my consumer component in my provider component within my library it works like a champ but this defeats what I'm trying to achieve. If I export both the provider and the consumer to my base project the consumer doesn't see the provider.

This is from my base project

import { Screen, COD, GenericSocketServer } from 'component-library'

export default class View extends React.PureComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <Screen className="screen odmb1">
        <GenericSocketServer>
          <COD />
        </GenericSocketServer>
      </Screen>
    )
  }
}

This is my provider code exported from my 'component-library'

import React from 'react';
import MyContext from "./context";
import COD from './../cod';

export default class GenericSocketServer extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <MyContext.Provider value={{ foo: 'bar' }}>
        <COD />
        {this.props.children}
      </MyContext.Provider>
    );
  }
}

This is my content code used in 'component-library'

import React from 'react'
const MyContext = React.createContext()
export default MyContext

This is my consumer component exported from 'component-library'

import MyContext from "../GenericSocketServer/context"

class COD extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <MyContext.Consumer>
          {(context) => { 
            /*
               context comes back undefined 
               I expect { foo: 'bar' }
            */
            console.log('context :', context)
            return (
              <p>This should work</p>
          )}}
        </MyContext.Consumer>
      </React.Fragment>
    )
  }
}

Context always comes back undefined as if it doesn't see the parent provider. I think I'm ether doing something wrong initializing the context myself or for some reason the two components I'm importing just don't share the same context. Please help!! Not sure if I should give up on this and just use redux.
