Resolving the prop is missing in props validation Error in ESLint for React Components

If you're a React developer, you might have come across the ESLint error stating that a certain prop is missing in props validation while developing a functional component. This often occurs when you derive component properties from other types, leading ESLint to incorrectly assert that these properties need validation. In this guide, we'll delve into the specifics of this issue and explore a practical solution.

The Problem: Understanding the ESLint Error

You might be building a custom Input component that utilizes HTML input properties. While everything may seem type-safe and functional within your integrated development environment (IDE), ESLint raises a red flag indicating that some props are not validated. For example:

Here, even though the rest object should technically include all HTML input props, ESLint does not recognize this inheritance, raising concerns over props validation. This results in repetitive calls to validation where they are not required.

The Solution: A Simple Code Modification

To resolve this issue, we can make a slight modification to our component's declaration, which will satisfy the ESLint requirements without compromising type safety. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Remove Generic Types from forwardRef

Instead of using generic types with React.forwardRef, you can explicitly define the function parameters’ types.

Explanation of Changes

Explicitly Defining Types: By explicitly setting the types for the function parameters, ESLint can accurately infer and validate the props since it has a clear understanding of their structure.

Clarity in Code: Removing the complexity of generics from the forwardRef function enhances code readability and maintainability.

Conclusion

The prop is missing in props validation error in ESLint can be confusing, especially when working with TypeScript and component props inheritance. By using an explicit typing approach, you not only resolve the ESLint warnings but also maintain a cleaner codebase that remains type-safe and understandable.

This simple tweak to your component can save you time and frustration, ensuring that you can focus on building great applications without unnecessary interruptions from linting issues.

Now that you know how to tackle this common React and ESLint issue, you can implement this technique in your projects with confidence!
