⚾️ react-base-component

Base component that prevents rendering unknown props in DOM

• Filter unknown props from DOM
• Based on react-html-attributes (50% smaller - 3kb when minified / 1kb gziped, without many svg attributes and event handlers)
• Override inner element with as prop
• Great for CSS-in-JS component libraries (NOTE: some provide this feature out of box!)
• Light version with only custom whitelist / blacklist (soon)
• Better package name (open for discussion)
• Remove old and deprecated html attributes (open for discussion)

📦 Install

$ yarn add @exah/react-base-component
