Disallow JSX props spreading (react/jsx-props-no-spreading)

Enforces that there is no spreading for any JSX attribute. This enhances readability of code by being more explicit about what props are received by the component. It is also good for maintainability by avoiding passing unintentional extra props and allowing react to emit warnings when invalid HTML props are passed to HTML elements.

Rule Details

The following patterns are considered warnings:

<App {...props} />
<MyCustomComponent {...props} some_other_prop={some_other_prop} />
<img {...props} />

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

const {src, alt} = props;
const {one_prop, two_prop} = otherProps;
<MyCustomComponent one_prop={one_prop} two_prop={two_prop} />
<img src={src} alt={alt} />

Rule Options

...
"react/jsx-props-no-spreading": [{
    "html": "ignore" / "enforce",
    "custom": "ignore" / "enforce",
    "exceptions": [<string>]
}]
...

html

html set to ignore will ignore all html jsx tags like div, img etc. Default is set to enforce.

The following patterns are not considered warnings when html is set to ignore:

<img {...props} />

The following patterns are still considered warnings:

<MyCustomComponent {...props} />

custom

custom set to ignore will ignore all custom jsx tags like App, MyCustomComponent etc. Default is set to enforce.

The following patterns are not considered warnings when custom is set to ignore:

<MyCustomComponent {...props} />

The following patterns are still considered warnings:

<img {...props} />

exceptions

An "exception" will always flip the resulting html or custom setting for that component - ie, html set to ignore, with an exception of div will enforce on an div; custom set to enforce with an exception of Foo will ignore Foo.

{ "exceptions": ["Image", "img"] }

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

const {src, alt} = props;
<Image {...props} />
<img {...props} />

The following patterns are considered warnings:

<MyCustomComponent {...props} />

{ "html": "ignore", "exceptions": ["MyCustomComponent", "img"] }

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

const {src, alt} = props;
const {one_prop, two_prop} = otherProps;
<img src={src} alt={alt} />
<MyCustomComponent {...otherProps} />

The following patterns are considered warnings:

<img {...props} />

When Not To Use It

If you are not using JSX or have lots of props to be passed or the props spreading is used inside HOC.
