And I can set it equal to an object and the keys of this object
5,401.05
3.33
will map to whatever props that I expect.
5,404.38
3.31
And so in this case we expect a single prop called Count.
5,407.69
3.9
And so I can say Count should be of what type, well PropTypes.
5,411.59
4.8
So capital P here is referring to the library that we just imported.
5,416.39
4.09
And we can say we want a number, and it's required.
5,420.48
4.24
And so now we see this warning.
5,428.14
5.49
We see, hey, there's a failed prop type here.
5,433.63
4.77
The prop count is marked as required in this component
5,438.4
3.54
called Count but it's values undefined.
5,441.94
2.49
Why is it undefined?
5,444.43
1.69
Well because we're importing this thing called number
5,446.12
3.71
and we're passing this thing called number over here.
5,449.83
2.31
But we're not actually exporting anything called number in this module.
5,452.14
4.51
And say we actually remove that and passed a 0 here.
5,456.65
7.34
Now it'll run as expected.
5,466.54
1.71
There are no warnings thrown.
5,468.25
2.91
And now let's try simulating a mistake where rather than passing the number 0
5,471.16
5.22
we go ahead and pass the string 0.
5,476.38
4.32
The app will still work because we're just displaying whatever we pass.
5,480.7
4.47
But if you notice we have a warning here.
5,485.17
4.11
Warning: Failed prop type.
5,489.28
1.29
Invalid prop count of type string supplied to count.
5,490.57
3.24
We were actually expecting a number.
5,493.81
1.825
And so that's actually React's built-in prop type
5,495.635
2.675
system which is checking against the types that we're passing down here.
5,498.31
4.08
We say, hey we're expecting this thing as a number
5,502.39
2.92
but since we pass a string it will throw a warning for us just to let us know,
5,505.31
3.635
oh by the way I don't know if you know this or not,
5,508.945
2.125
but you're passing the wrong type down.
5,511.07
2.25
And so we can use this thing called prop types in order
5,513.32
2.39
to validate the props that were passed.
5,515.71
5.162
And so in stateless functional components
5,520.872
1.708
we actually just add this as a property.
5,522.58
3.33
But say this were actually a class component.
5,525.91
3.81
So let's do class Count, extends React.component.
5,529.72
12.96
And then we have a render which will just return this.
5,542.68
5.357
And let's fix some styling so it's easier to read.
5,553.35
2.16
So now we have a class component and as long as there are no syntax errors--
5,560.5
7.76
There's a syntax error somewhere that I don't see.
5,571.06
6.16
Does anybody see the syntax error?
5,577.22
1.51
Can anybody beat me to it?
5,578.73
1.693
AUDIENCE: Is that last a parentheses or is that a bracket?
5,580.423
3.099
SPEAKER 1: This here is a parentheses.
5,583.522
1.583
Oh, yep.
5,585.105
2.595
Nice catch.
5,587.7
0.745
I owe you some candy.
5,588.445
0.875
So now if we go ahead and reload this, it
5,592.08
3.3
can't find the called props because class component
5,595.38
6.51
is stored as this.props.
5,601.89
2.13
And now we can go ahead and see that it is as expected.
5,604.02
3.789
We still have that failed prop type message
5,607.809
1.791
because we're passing a string rather than a number but it's working.
5,609.6
4.38
And so we can go ahead and so we create the class here.
5,613.98
3.7
And then we go ahead and do Count.propTypes here which works.
5,617.68
3.84
But generally the way that you see the convention is actually
5,621.52
4.52
to use this thing called a static method.
5,626.04
3.55
And so there's actually a static keyword where you can do static propTypes
5,629.59
5.35
equals that object.
5,634.94
1.69
So functionally exactly the same, but the convention is to use this thing
5,642.09
5.27
called a static method or a static property
5,647.36
5.88
because it's just the way that the new class index works.
5,653.24
5.53
And so it's functionally the same as doing count.propTypes down here,
5,658.77
4.57
but the convention is just to use the newer syntax.
5,663.34
2.125
So any questions on PropTypes?
5,668.49
3.38
Does everybody see the utility of using them?
5,671.87
2.85
They've definitely saved me multiple times on personal projects.
5,674.72
2.865
And so now, if we've passed the correct props, there are no warnings.
5,683.83
6.22
Great.
5,690.05
0.5
And the last concept I wanted to touch on is just how the heck do I read docs.
5,690.55
5.515
Because I can't possibly teach you every single component
5,696.065
2.375
that React Native offers.
5,698.44
1.74
But they do offer a lot of great components
5,700.18
2.34
that you may want to use in either project for this class or maybe
5,702.52
3.48
a personal project that you're working on.
5,706
1.98
And so here's basically the steps that I go through
5,707.98
3.15
in order to figure out what I should use when working on my own project.
5,711.13
4.09
So first have a goal in mind.
5,715.22
1.832
You need to know what problem you're trying to solve.
5,717.052
2.208
Otherwise reading a bunch about what's offered
5,719.26
2.31
doesn't really mean anything to you.
5,721.57
1.86
And so say you were doing something like the TODO app
5,723.43
3.09
that we did before the first thing that you'll notice
5,726.52
3.6
is that there is no input type checkbox in React Native.
5,730.12
3.7
And so you have to figure out what is my goal here?
5,733.82
2.57
Well I want to replace what used to be a checkbox.
5,736.39
4.91
And so your goal in that example would be all right
5,741.3
2.77
I need some component that basically just renders a Boolean.
5,744.07
4.62
Then just see what the library or framework offers.
5,748.69
2.72
And so the way I did that was I just browsed through the docs.
5,751.41
3.77
So they're linked in this presentation.
5,755.18
2.87
I'll go ahead and link them in the Resources tab on the website.
5,758.05
3.51
But just see exactly what the library has to offer, see what they have,
5,761.56
4.755
then find something that solves your problem.
5,766.315
1.875
There may be multiple things that solve your problem
5,768.19
2.19
but just try to find the thing that best solves your problem.
5,770.38
2.88
And so in my case for that particular Boolean switch
5,773.26
3.09
I saw that they had something called a switch that
5,776.35
2.49
just renders a Boolean flag that you can just tap and then configure it.
5,778.84
8.43
And so the docs will tell you exactly what
5,787.27
2.73
