DHIS2 propTypes

This package contains common prop types used across dhis2 apps and libraries.

Installation

yarn add @dhis2/prop-types

Available prop-types

Functions

arrayWithLength([min], [max], [propType]) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop value is an array with a length between a minimum and maximum. If a third propType argument is passed each item in the array needs to be of that prop-type

conditional(propsToPropType) ⇒ Error | null

Conditionally determines a prop type bases on the passed props

instanceOfComponent(Component) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop value is an instance of a certain component

mutuallyExclusive(exlusivePropNames, propType) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure that only one property within a specified list is thruthy This function will also check if the current property value is of the specified type

requiredIf(siblingPropName) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop has a value (i.e. treat it as required) when a given sibling prop also has a value, and ensure the prop is of the correct prop-type

arrayWithLength([min], [max], [propType]) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop value is an array with a length between a minimum and maximum. If a third propType argument is passed each item in the array needs to be of that prop-type

Kind: global function
Returns: Error | null - Returns null if all conditions are met, or an error

Param	Type	Default	Description
[min]	number	0	The minimal array length
[max]	number	Infinity	The maximal array length
[propType]	function		The prop-type that each array item needs to conform to

Example

import React from 'react'
import { arrayWithLength } from '@dhis2/prop-types'

const LotsOfLists = props => <div {...props}>Does nothing</div>

LotsOfLists.propTypes = {
    arrayWithMaxThreeNumbers: arrayWithLength(0, 3, propTypes.number),
    arrayWithAtLeastSixStrings: arrayWithLength(6, undefined, propTypes.string),
    arrayWithAtLeastTenItems: arrayWithLength(10),
    mandatoryArrayBetweenOneAndTen: arrayWithLength(1,10).isRequired,
}

conditional(propsToPropTypes) ⇒ Error | null

Determine the prop type of a prop by the value(s) of a/several passed prop(s). This will restrict the propType in contrast to oneOfType.

Kind: global function
Returns: Error | null - Returns null if all conditions are met, or an error

Param	Type	Default	Description
propsToPropType	Function		The function that will determine the actual prop type

Example

import React from 'react'
import { conditional } from '@dhis2/prop-types'

const Select = ({ multiple, selected: _selected, options }) => {
    const selected = multiple ? _selected : [ _selected ]

    return (
        // ...
    )
}

const option = propTypes.shape({
    value: propTypes.string.isReuqired,
    labe: propTypes.string.isReuqired,
})

LotsOfLists.propTypes = {
    // ...
    options: propTypes.arrayOf(option).isRequired,
    selected: conditional(
        props => props.multiple ? propTypes.arrayOf(option) : option
    ).isRequired,
    // ...
}

instanceOfComponent(Component) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop value is an instance of a certain component

Kind: global function
Returns: Error | null - Returns null if all conditions are met, or an error

Param	Type	Description
Component	function | string	The component that is expected. Can either be a React component, or a string for built-in components, such as 'span', 'div', etc.

Example

import React from 'react'
import { instanceOfComponent } from '@dhis2/prop-types'
import { Button } from './Button'

const ButtonWrap = ({ children }) => <div>{children}</div>
// This would allow the ButtonWrap to be empty
ButtonWrap.propTypes = {
    children: instanceOfComponent(Button)
}

// Enforce presence of a Button instance
ButtonWrap.propTypes = {
    children: instanceOfComponent(Button).isRequired
}

// Enforce presence of a multiple children, all Button instances
ButtonWrap.propTypes = {
    children: proptypes.arrayOf(instanceOfComponent(Button)).isRequired
}

mutuallyExclusive(exlusivePropNames, propType) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure that only one property within a specified list is thruthy This function will also check if the current property value is of the specified type

Kind: global function
Returns: Error | null - Returns null if all conditions are met, or an error

Param	Type	Description
exlusivePropNames	array.<string>	The prop names to be checked
propType	function	The prop-type that the current prop-value needs to conform to

Example

import React from 'react'
import cx from 'classnames'
import propTypes from 'prop-types'
import { mutuallyExclusive } from '@dhis2/prop-types'

const Alert = ({ danger, warning, success, children }) => (
    <div className={cx({danger, warning, success})}>
        {children}
    </div>
)

const statusPropType = mutuallyExclusive(['danger', 'warning', 'success'], propTypes.bool)

Alert.propTypes = {
    children: propTypes.node,
    danger: statusPropType,
    warning: statusPropType,
    success: statusPropType,
}

requiredIf(siblingPropName) ⇒ Error | null

Ensure the prop has a value (i.e. treat it as required) when a given sibling prop also has a value, and ensure the prop is of the correct prop-type

Kind: global function
Returns: Error | null - Returns null if all conditions are met, or an error

Param	Type	Description
siblingPropName	function	The name of the sibling prop

Example

import React from 'react'
import { requiredIf } from '@dhis2/prop-types'

const Test = ({ someBool, someString }) => (
    <div>
        <h1>someBool: {someBool ? 'true' : 'false'}</h1>
        <h1>someString: {someString}</h1>
    </div>
)
Test.propTypes = {
    someBool: propTypes.bool,
    someString: requiredIf(props => props.someBool, propTypes.string),
}
