Typing React Component Props with TypeScript
Source: react.devbeginner
Use TypeScript to define a 'contract' for your component's props with an `interface` or `type`. This catches bugs by ensuring data passed to a component has the correct shape. The footgun: files with JSX must use the `.tsx` extension.
Use TypeScript to add static type definitions to your React components, creating a 'contract' for what props they expect. By defining an `interface` or `type` for your props object, you catch bugs and enable editor autocomplete. The main footgun is forgetting that any file containing JSX must use a `.tsx` extension, or TypeScript won't process it correctly.
