Severity: Warning

Category: Best Practices

Description

Children should be used as actual children not a JSX prop. This rule enforces the use of children as an element between the JSX element opening and closing tag.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

<div children='Children' />;

<MyComponent children={<AnotherComponent />} />;
<MyComponent children={['Child 1', 'Child 2']} />;

React.createElement("div", { children: 'Children' });

Compliant Code Examples

<div>Children</div>;
<MyComponent>Children</MyComponent>;
<MyComponent>
  <span>Child 1</span>
  <span>Child 2</span>
</MyComponent>;
React.createElement("div", {}, 'Children');
React.createElement("div", 'Child 1', 'Child 2');
