prop-desc

React prop-types with metadata inside ✨

It is a drop-in replacement for prop-types that includes metadata to generate documentation from prop-types consistently.

npm install prop-desc prop-types

Example

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-desc'

function MyComponent() {
  // ... do things with the props
}

MyComponent.propTypes = {
  optionalArray: PropTypes.array,
  optionalBool: PropTypes.bool,
  optionalFunc: PropTypes.func,
}

console.log(PropTypes.getMetadata(MyComponent.propTypes))

Why?

Generating documentation from prop types is useful but not easy. A project call react-docgen try to introspect code to extract type but it remains static and does not work with complex prop types (in other files). prop-desc solves this and permits to generate consistent documentation from your prop-types.
