can't access web3 object in Drizzle Box

Question

I am building a DAPP based on drizzle box. I am struggling to find out how can i get the web3 instance without initiating a new one I want to end up with something like :

this.props.web3.eth

Thanks

As described here : https://github.com/trufflesuite/drizzle-react/issues/22

This can be done via:

this.context.drizzle.web3...

In order to make this work, you have to pass the context variable to the constructor:

constructor(props, context) {
super(props)
...
}

and make shure you added drizzle to your context-types:

ExampleComponent.contextTypes = {
  drizzle: PropTypes.object
}
