react proptypes necessary code example

Example 1: react proptypes

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

MyComponent.propTypes = {
  // You can declare that a prop is a specific JS type. By default, these
  // are all optional.
  optionalArray: PropTypes.array,
  optionalBool: PropTypes.bool,
  optionalFunc: PropTypes.func,
  optionalNumber: PropTypes.number,
  optionalObject: PropTypes.object,
  optionalString: PropTypes.string,
  optionalSymbol: PropTypes.symbol,

  // Anything that can be rendered: numbers, strings, elements or an array
  // (or fragment) containing these types.
  optionalNode: PropTypes.node,

  // A React element.
  optionalElement: PropTypes.element,

  // A React element type (ie. MyComponent).
  optionalElementType: PropTypes.elementType,

  // You can also declare that a prop is an instance of a class. This uses
  // JS's instanceof operator.
  optionalMessage: PropTypes.instanceOf(Message),

  // You can ensure that your prop is limited to specific values by treating
  // it as an enum.
  optionalEnum: PropTypes.oneOf(['News', 'Photos']),

  // An object that could be one of many types
  optionalUnion: PropTypes.oneOfType([
    PropTypes.string,
    PropTypes.number,
    PropTypes.instanceOf(Message)
  ]),

  // An array of a certain type
  optionalArrayOf: PropTypes.arrayOf(PropTypes.number),

  // An object with property values of a certain type
  optionalObjectOf: PropTypes.objectOf(PropTypes.number),

  // An object taking on a particular shape
  optionalObjectWithShape: PropTypes.shape({
    color: PropTypes.string,
    fontSize: PropTypes.number
  }),

  // An object with warnings on extra properties
  optionalObjectWithStrictShape: PropTypes.exact({
    name: PropTypes.string,
    quantity: PropTypes.number
  }),   

  // You can chain any of the above with `isRequired` to make sure a warning
  // is shown if the prop isn't provided.
  requiredFunc: PropTypes.func.isRequired,

  // A required value of any data type
  requiredAny: PropTypes.any.isRequired,

  // You can also specify a custom validator. It should return an Error
  // object if the validation fails. Don't `console.warn` or throw, as this
  // won't work inside `oneOfType`.
  customProp: function(props, propName, componentName) {
    if (!/matchme/.test(props[propName])) {
      return new Error(
        'Invalid prop `' + propName + '` supplied to' +
        ' `' + componentName + '`. Validation failed.'
      );
    }
  },

  // You can also supply a custom validator to `arrayOf` and `objectOf`.
  // It should return an Error object if the validation fails. The validator
  // will be called for each key in the array or object. The first two
  // arguments of the validator are the array or object itself, and the
  // current item's key.
  customArrayProp: PropTypes.arrayOf(function(propValue, key, componentName, location, propFullName) {
    if (!/matchme/.test(propValue[key])) {
      return new Error(
        'Invalid prop `' + propFullName + '` supplied to' +
        ' `' + componentName + '`. Validation failed.'
      );
    }
  })
};

Example 2: react proptypes example

// proptypes using class component
Detaljer.PropTypes = {
  detaljer: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  feilkode: PropTypes.string,
  removeEvent: PropTypes.string.isRequired
};

// proptypes using function component
Detaljer.propTypes = {
  detaljer: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  feilkode: PropTypes.string,
  removeEvent: PropTypes.string.isRequired
};

Example 3: proptypes

Basic types:
- PropTypes.any: The prop can be of any data type
- PropTypes.bool: The prop should be a Boolean
- PropTypes.number: The prop should be a number
- PropTypes.string: The prop should be a string
- PropTypes.func: The prop should be a function
- PropTypes.array: The prop should be an array
- PropTypes.object: The prop should be an object
- PropTypes.symbol: The prop should be a symbol

Renderable types:
- PropTypes.node: The prop should be anything that can be rendered by React
  a number, string, element, or array (or fragment) containing these types
- PropTypes.element: The prop should be a React element

Instance types:
- PropTypes.instanceOf(class): The prop should be an instance of class

Multiple types:
- PropTypes.oneOf: The prop is limited to a specified set of values,
  treating it like an enum
- PropTypes.oneOfType: The prop should be one of a specified set of
  types, behaving like a union of types
  
Collection types:
- PropTypes.arrayOf: ensures that the prop is an array in which all 
  items match the specified type.
- PropTypes.objectOf: ensures that the prop is an object in which all 
  property values match the specified type.
- PropTypes.shape: ensures that the prop is an object that contains a set 
  of specified keys with values of the specified types.
- PropTypes.exact: use for strict (or exact) object matching
