What is the meaning of webpartcontext in SPFX?
As the name suggests, WebPartContext is the web part context object. This object contains the contextual services available to a web part. e.g. a contextual instance to the HTTP client.
This class provides methods to make GET and POST methods to any API. However, some SharePoint experts suggests don’t pass the whole web part context to your React components or Services and only pass few context properties, like the HTTP clients or the URL of the current site as you need them.
Why the SharePoint Framework? Questions? The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a page and web part model that provides full support for client-side SharePoint development, easy integration with SharePoint data, and extending Microsoft Teams.

I’m following the second tutorial from the SharePoint Framework dev center: It states that you can retrieve details from this.context.pageContext, however this is no longer the case with the GA (1.0.0) release as the codebase has changed, and the documentation and tutorials haven’t been updated to reflect this.
When to use this.context in ReactJS?
Old reply, but someone is bound to run into the same error. When you’re passing the context as a prop in the base WebPart, make sure you’re passing it by using the this.context. If you’re in the TSX then you’re in the component, not the web part. A component is a dumb rendering construct.
