PropTypes

 In this article, we'll explore the importance of PropTypes and how to use them effectively in your React applications.

Understanding PropTypes:

PropTypes are a mechanism for specifying the expected types for the properties of a React component. They enable developers to define the contract between parent and child components by declaring the data types a component expects for its props.

Example Usage of PropTypes:

Let's consider a simple example where we have a Person component that receives a name and an age as props. We want to ensure that the parent component provides these props with the correct data types.

// Person.js
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

const Person = ({ name, age }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Name: {name}</p>
      <p>Age: {age}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

Person.propTypes = {
  name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  age: PropTypes.number.isRequired,
};

export default Person;
