# Prefer exact proptype definitions (react/prefer-exact-props) | ||
|
||
Recommends options to ensure only exact prop definitions are used when writing components. This recommends solutions for PropTypes or for Flow types. | ||
|
||
In React, you can define prop types for components using propTypes. Such an example is below: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Foo extends React.Component { | ||
render() { | ||
return <p>{this.props.bar}</p>; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
|
||
Foo.propTypes = { | ||
bar: PropTypes.string | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The problem with this is that the consumer of the component could still pass in extra props. There could even be a typo for expected props. In order to prevent those situations, one could use the npm package [prop-types-exact](https://www.npmjs.com/package/prop-types-exact) to warn when unexpected props are passed to the component. | ||
|
||
One can also define props for a component using Flow types. Such an example is below: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Foo extends React.Component { | ||
props: { | ||
bar: string | ||
} | ||
|
||
render() { | ||
return <p>{this.props.bar}</p>; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this case, one could instead enforce only the exact props being used by using exact type objects, like below: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Foo extends React.Component { | ||
props: {| | ||
bar: string | ||
}| | ||
|
||
render() { | ||
return <p>{this.props.bar}</p>; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
See the [Flow docs](https://flow.org/en/docs/types/objects/#toc-exact-object-types) on exact object types for more information. | ||
|
||
## Rule Details | ||
|
||
This rule will only produce errors for prop types when combined with the appropriate entries in `propWrapperFunctions`. For example: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"settings": { | ||
"propWrapperFunctions": [ | ||
{"property": "exact", "exact": true} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The following patterns are considered warnings: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Component extends React.Component { | ||
render() { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
Component.propTypes = { | ||
foo: PropTypes.string | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Component extends React.Component { | ||
static propTypes = { | ||
foo: PropTypes.string | ||
} | ||
render() { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
class Component extends React.Component { | ||
props: { | ||
foo: string | ||
} | ||
render() { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
function Component(props: { foo: string }) { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
type Props = { | ||
foo: string | ||
} | ||
function Component(props: Props) { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The following patterns are **not** considered warnings: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
type Props = {| | ||
foo: string | ||
|} | ||
function Component(props: Props) { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
import exact from 'prop-types-exact'; | ||
class Component extends React.Component { | ||
render() { | ||
return <div />; | ||
} | ||
} | ||
Component.propTypes = exact({ | ||
foo: PropTypes.string | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## When Not To Use It | ||
|
||
If you aren't concerned about extra props being passed to a component or potential spelling errors for existing props aren't a common nuisance, then you can leave this rule off. |
