React HTML Props

Convenience TypeScript type definitions for all HTML element props.

Documentation

Overview

This package includes convenience TypeScript type definitions for all React.DetailedHTMLProps for all HTML element types.

For example, this allows you to specify DivProps instead of React.DetailedHTMLProps<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, HTMLDivElement>. Because nobody wants to type all of that. 😁

Using these types makes it easy to support all standard HTML props for your components.

Features include:

• 🛩️ Convenience TypeScript HTMLAttributes prop types for all HTML elements
  • Easily reference props for any HTML element with shorthand like DivProps.

Installation

npm i react-html-props

Quick Start

Basic Example

Let's use div as an example since it's the most common.

You can use DivProps to support all props for div in your own components.

import { DivProps } from "react-html-props";

export const MyComponent = ({ children, ...divProps }: DivProps): JSX.Element => {
  return <div {...divProps}>{children}</div>;
};

Here we are using object destructuring to unpack children from the rest of div's props.

Mixing With Custom Props

You will likely have your own props, of course.

So you can use TypeScript's intersection types notation to combine your own props with the HTML element's props.

Then use object destructuring to unpack your own props out of the resulting combined type.

Just follow the example below:

import { DivProps } from 'react-html-props';

interface PandaBearComponentProps {
  pandaBearCount: 10;
}

export const PandaBearComponent = ({
  children,
  pandaBearCount,
  ...divProps
}: PandaBearComponentProps & DivProps): JSX.Element => {
  return (
    <div {...divProps}>
      <h1>I have {pandaBearCount} panda bears</h1>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </div>
  );
};

Included HTML Element Props

The goal was to make it as easy to use each HTML element's props as possible, so the types for all props begin with the exact HTML element.

For example, the type for the p element's props is PProps.

In some cases there are multiple types available, such as with headings h1, h2, h3, etc. The props for these elements can be referenced either as H1Props, H2Props, H3Props, etc, or simply as HeadingProps. See the table below for more.
