TypeScript Property 'props' does not exist












6















I have this .tsx file



import React, { Component } from 'react';

export class SidebarItem extends Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props);
}

render () {
return (<li>{this.props.children}</li>);
}
}


However, TypeScript throws this error:
error TS2339: Property 'props' does not exist on type 'SidebarItem'.

  • because this.props.children is suppose to be automatically set by React. It's how you access what was passed to the component. <SidebarItem> <Link to={path}> {path} </Link> </SidebarItem>

    Did you find an answer yet? I have the same problem on tsc v2.3.4. Do you have a good link for writing React Class Component with TypeScript?'

The solution is to install the React Types defintions



yarn add -DE @types/react


More details from the typescript docs and from the types repo



On a side note I had to restart vscode for the linting to kick in properly.

    You can try the following way of writing a React Comp.



    interface SidebarItemProps

    class SidebarItem extends React.Component<SidebarItemProps, any> {

      TypeScript follows the ES-module specification but React follows CommonJS.
      This article touches on that among other things.



      Importing React like this will fix this problem:



      import * as React from 'react';

      export class SidebarItem extends React.Component {
      constructor (props) {

      If your component has no state, you don't have to use a class at all. You can also use a stateless react component (SFC) as answered for this question.



      const MyStatelessComponent : React.StatelessComponent<{}> = props =>
      <li>{props.children}</li>;


      Or if your markup is getting huge:



      const MyStatelessComponent : React.StatelessComponent<{}> = props => {

      return <li>{props.children}</li>;

      }

      • Although this is valid, and certainly not a bad piece of advise, it doesn't really answer the question. This solution just avoids the problem, instead of solving it.

                      If your component has no state, you don't have to use a class at all. You can also use a stateless react component (SFC) as answered for this question.



                      const MyStatelessComponent : React.StatelessComponent<{}> = props =>
                      <li>{props.children}</li>;


                      Or if your markup is getting huge:



                      const MyStatelessComponent : React.StatelessComponent<{}> = props => {

                      return <li>{props.children}</li>;

                      }
