JavaScript Leaders Demand Oracle Release the JavaScript Trademark
In an open letter, JavaScript community leaders urge Oracle to give up the JavaScript trademark, arguing that it has been effectively abandoned through nonuse.
@types/react-is
Advanced tools
The @types/react-is package provides TypeScript type definitions for the react-is library, which is a collection of utilities to determine the type of React elements. This is particularly useful for type-checking in TypeScript projects when working with dynamic React elements or when needing to assert the type of components or elements in the code.
Identifying React Elements
This feature allows you to check if a value is a React element. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `isElement` function to determine if a given value is a React element.
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';
function isElement(element: any): boolean {
return ReactIs.isElement(element);
}
Checking for Specific Element Types
These functions enable checking if a React element is a Fragment or a Portal, respectively. This is useful for conditional rendering or logic that depends on the type of component.
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';
function isFragment(value: any): boolean {
return ReactIs.isFragment(value);
}
function isPortal(value: any): boolean {
return ReactIs.isPortal(value);
}
Identifying Context Consumers and Providers
This feature allows for the identification of Context Consumers and Providers, which can be useful in complex applications that make heavy use of React's Context API for managing state.
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';
function isContextConsumer(value: any): boolean {
return ReactIs.isContextConsumer(value);
}
function isContextProvider(value: any): boolean {
return ReactIs.isContextProvider(value);
}
While not a direct alternative, prop-types offers runtime type checking for React props and similar objects. Unlike @types/react-is, which is used for TypeScript type definitions, prop-types is used within JavaScript to ensure components receive props of the correct type.
