React eslint error missing in props validation

I have the next code, eslint throw: > react/prop-types onClickOut; is missing in props validation > > react/prop-types children; is missing in props validation

propTypes was defined but eslint does not recognize it.

import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';

class IxClickOut extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    children: PropTypes.any,
    onClickOut: PropTypes.func,
  };

 componentDidMount() {
    document.getElementById('app')
      .addEventListener('click', this.handleClick);
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    document.getElementById('app')
      .removeEventListener('click', this.handleClick);
  }

  handleClick = ({ target }: { target: EventTarget }) => {
    if (!this.containerRef.contains(target)) {
      this.props.onClickOut();
    }
  };

  containerRef: HTMLElement;

  render() {
    const { children, ...rest } = this.props;
    const filteredProps = _.omit(rest, 'onClickOut');

    return (
      <div
        {...filteredProps}
        ref={container => {
          this.containerRef = container;
        }}
      >
        {children}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default IxClickOut;

You need to define propTypes as a static getter if you want it inside the class declaration:

static get propTypes() { 
    return { 
        children: PropTypes.any, 
        onClickOut: PropTypes.func 
    }; 
}

If you want to define it as an object, you need to define it outside the class, like this:

IxClickOut.propTypes = {
    children: PropTypes.any,
    onClickOut: PropTypes.func,
};

Also it's better if you import prop types from prop-types, not react, otherwise you'll see warnings in console (as preparation for React 16):

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

I know this answer is ridiculous, but consider just disabling this rule until the bugs are worked out or you've upgraded your tooling:

/* eslint-disable react/prop-types */ // TODO: upgrade to latest eslint tooling

Or disable project-wide in your eslintrc:

"rules": {
  "react/prop-types": "off"
}

It seems that the problem is in eslint-plugin-react.

It can not correctly detect what props were mentioned in propTypes if you have annotated named objects via destructuring anywhere in the class.

There was similar problem in the past

I ran into this issue over the past couple days. Like Omri Aharon said in their answer above, it is important to add definitions for your prop types similar to:

SomeClass.propTypes = {
    someProp: PropTypes.number,
    onTap: PropTypes.func,
};

Don't forget to add the prop definitions outside of your class. I would place it right below/above my class. If you are not sure what your variable type or suffix is for your PropType (ex: PropTypes.number), refer to this npm reference. To Use PropTypes, you must import the package:

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

If you get the linting error:someProp is not required, but has no corresponding defaultProps declaration all you have to do is either add .isRequired to the end of your prop definition like so:

SomeClass.propTypes = {
    someProp: PropTypes.number.isRequired,
    onTap: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};

OR add default prop values like so:

SomeClass.defaultProps = {
    someProp: 1
};

If you are anything like me, unexperienced or unfamiliar with reactjs, you may also get this error: Must use destructuring props assignment. To fix this error, define your props before they are used. For example:

const { someProp } = this.props;

For me, upgrading eslint-plugin-react to the latest version 7.21.5 fixed this

Install prop-types package with- npm i prop-types --save Import it-

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

Then specify the props, I implemented this way-

export default function Text({ children }) {
    Text.propTypes = {
        children: PropTypes.node.isRequired,
        };
  return (
    <VStyle className="para">
      <p>{children}</p>
    </VStyle> 
  );
}

Also add this in your eslintrc.json or .js file

"rules": {
    "react/prop-types": "off"
  }

Issue: 'id1' is missing in props validation, eslintreact/prop-types

<div id={props.id1} >
	...
</div>

Below solution worked, in a function component:

let { id1 } = props;

<div id={id1} >
	...
</div>

Hope that helps.

the problem is in flow annotation in handleClick, i removed this and works fine thanks @alik

PropTypes checking is a good thing, not recommend to ignore by settings

You can auto generate the propTypes by using vscode React PropTypes Generate extension:

1. Select your Component's name
2. Press command + . (Windows is Ctrl + .) show Code Actions and select PropTypesGenerate, or press shift + command + alt + P (Windows is shift + ctrl + alt + P) in the macOS
3. Input propType to replace default type

I'm finding eslint to be overly strict in the project I'm working on myself but for this error I fixed it by defining my interface and then implementing as such:

interface myInterface: {
  test: string
}

const MyComponent: React.FC<myInterface> = (props: myInterface) => {

Duplicating my answer from a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69199304/4290193

eslint-plugin-react@^7.25.0 appears to have resolved the issue for those using React.FC<IProps> with react/prop-types validation rule.

So instead of

const Example: React.FC<IProps> = (props: IProps) => ...

This now works without warnings after the update

const Example: React.FC<IProps> = (props) => ...

On the new version of React and also Next.js, you can simply import PropTypes as follows,

import PropTypes from "prop-types";

and at the bottom of your file add defaultProps and propTypes such as,

Post.defaultProps = {
  posts: "",
};

Post.propTypes = {
  posts: PropTypes.string,
};

export default Post;

It should resolve your eslint warnings.

Functional React component. Defined as object. I got this error because I copied and pasted the object from a different with a slightly different name and forgot to change the name of the proptypes object.

FooterIcons.propTypes = {} -> FooterIcon.propTypes

Instead of disable prop-types rule, we can introduce children property as part of component props, eg:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default class ErrorBoundary extends Component<{ children: React.ReactNode }> {
  constructor(props: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
    super(props);

    this.state = { error: null, errorInfo: null };
  }

  componentDidCatch(error: Readonly<unknown>, errorInfo: Readonly<unknown>): void {
    this.setState({ error, errorInfo });
  }

  render(): React.ReactElement | React.ReactNode {
    const { children } = this.props;
    const { error, errorInfo } = this.state as Readonly<Record<string, { componentStack: string }>>;

    if (errorInfo)
      return (
        <details>
          <h3>Oops, error detected.</h3>
          <p>{error?.toString()}</p>
          <p>{errorInfo?.componentStack}</p>
        </details>
      );
    return children;
  }
}

Above one is typical example of getting eslint error gone ~~

Don't worry be happy ~~
