Convenient TypeScript types for all React HTML props.
npm install react-html-propsRead the official documentation.
This package includes convenient TypeScript type definitions for all React HTML props.
For example, this allows you to use the type DivProps instead of:
``tsx`
React.DetailedHTMLProps
...Because nobody wants to type all of that. 😁
Using these types makes it easy to support all standard HTML props, such as style and className, in your own components.
- 🧩 TypeScript types for all React HTML props
- Easily use types for HTML props with simple names like DivProps.WithoutRef
- 🧠 Easy to remember
- All types start with the HTML element name, so you'll never end up scratching your head.
- 👍 Optional types without React ref
- Where needed, use types for props that don't inherit ref from React.DetailedHTMLProps.

npm i --save-dev react-html-props
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.
`tsx
import { DivProps } from "react-html-props";
const MyComponent = (props: DivProps) => {
return
> Note:
DivProps is equivalent to React.DetailedHTMLPropsIn this example, we're using
className, style, and onClick on our own component since it supports all div props:`tsx
const render = () => (
className="text-center"
style={{ background: 'blue', color: 'white' }}
onClick={() => console.log('Get schwifty!')}
>
Show me what you got
);
`Types are available for all HTML props. See below for a table containing all supported types.
Unpacking Props
We can use object destructuring and the spread operator to unpack props, such as
children, from the rest of an element's props.Using
div as an example again:`tsx
import { DivProps } from "react-html-props";export const MyComponent = ({ children, ...divProps }: DivProps): JSX.Element => {
return
{children};
};
`Extending HTML Props
You can extend all HTML props to add your own.
Then use object destructuring to unpack and use your own props.
Just follow the example below:
`tsx
interface KindleOfKittensProps extends DivProps {
kittenCount: 10;
}export const KindleOfKittens = ({ kittenCount, ...divProps }: KindleOfKittensProps): JSX.Element => {
return (
I have a kindle of {kittenCount} kittens
);
};
`(Yes, a group of kittens is called a "kindle")
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.You can import any of the following types:

ElementProps.Props Without Ref
You may need props that exclude the
ref field inherited from React.DetailedHTMLProps.For this, all types have a
WithoutRef option.For example, you can use
DivPropsWithoutRef for a div without a React ref. DivPropsWithoutRef is equivalent to React.HTMLAttributes.> A
ref may not always be desirable, so it remains optional to give you flexibility. For instance, components returned by styled-components may not support React's ref` type.Type definitions have been included for TypeScript support.
