JS.REACT.FORBID.COMPONENT.PROPS

Forbid certain props on components

By default this rule prevents passing of props that add lots of complexity (https://medium.com/brigade-engineering/don-t-pass-css-classes-between-components-e9f7ab192785) (className, style) to Components. This rule only applies to Components (e.g. <Foo />) and not DOM nodes (e.g. <div />). The list of forbidden props can be customized with the forbid option.

Rule Details

This rule checks all JSX elements and verifies that no forbidden props are used on Components. This rule is off by default.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

Copy
<Hello className='foo' />
Copy
<Hello style={{color: 'red'}} />

Examples of correct code for this rule:

Copy
<Hello name='Joe' />
Copy
<div className='foo' />
Copy
<div style={{color: 'red'}} />

Rule Options

Copy
...
"react/forbid-component-props": [<enabled>, { "forbid": [<string>|<object>] }]
...

forbid

An array specifying the names of props that are forbidden. The default value of this option is ['className', 'style']. Each array element can either be a string with the property name or object specifying the property name, an optional custom message, and a component whitelist:

Copy
{
  "propName": "someProp",
  "allowedFor": [SomeComponent, AnotherComponent],
  "message": "Avoid using someProp"
}
