Unleashing the Power of TypeScript

Limited flexibility in component rendering

Improved reusability without reimplementing the component

Enhanced performance due to specialized components

What is the advantage of using polymorphic components for defining different HTML elements in React?

What is the advantage of using polymorphic components for defining different HTML elements in React?

Creating higher-order components to extend element properties

Leveraging the spread operator `{...props}`

Implementing a dynamic prop resolution mechanism

What strategy can be employed for components where different elements must be defined, and polymorphic components are *not* suitable?

What strategy can be employed for components where different elements must be defined, and polymorphic components are not suitable?

It extends the props of the underlying HTML element (`div`).

It specifies the default props for the `div` element.

It defines the color background for the box.

It introduces inline styles for better styling control.

In the following implementation of the `Box` component, how does the `ComponentPropsWithRef` type contribute to the definition of `BoxProps`?

```tsx
type BoxProps = ComponentPropsWithRef<'div'> & {
 as: ElementType;
};
```

In the following implementation of the <code>Box</code> component, how does the <code>ComponentPropsWithRef</code> type contribute to the definition of <code>BoxProps</code>?
<pre><code class="language-tsx">type BoxProps = ComponentPropsWithRef&lt;'div'&gt; &amp; {
 as: ElementType;
};
</code></pre>

It has a fixed structure and cannot be modified dynamically.

It can only represent a single HTML element type with static behavior.

It is a single adaptable component that can represent different semantic HTML elements.

It relies on external libraries to define its structure and behavior.

What does it mean for a component to be polymorphic in React and TypeScript?

What does it mean for a component to be polymorphic in React and TypeScript?

TypeScript requires an explicit definition of accepted props.

TypeScript doesn’t support the spread operator.

What is the main challenge in using the spread operator `{...props}` in TypeScript for passing props to an underlying HTML element in a component?

What is the main challenge in using the spread operator <code>{...props}</code> in TypeScript for passing props to an underlying HTML element in a component?

By using an intersection of `React.ComponentProps<'button'>` and `{ variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' }`

By utilizing a union of `React.ComponentProps<'button'>` and `{ variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' }`

By merging two separate types: `React.ComponentProps<'button'>` and `{ variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' }`

By excluding other props using the `Omit` utility type

How is the variant prop added to the `Button` component, extending its accepted props?

How is the variant prop added to the <code>Button</code> component, extending its accepted props?

By extending the props of an HTML element

By combining several HTML elements into one component

By grouping props from different HTML elements 

How can we create a composite component?


How can we create a composite component?

Omits all button’s props except the `size` prop.

Excludes the `size` prop from the available button's props.

Adds the `size` prop to the button's props.


What does this type declaration (`type ButtonProps = Omit<React.ComponentProps<'button'>, 'size'>;`) do?

What does this type declaration (<code>type ButtonProps = Omit&lt;React.ComponentProps&lt;'button'&gt;, 'size'&gt;;</code>) do?

Extends the button's props with a `theme` prop.

Excludes the `theme` prop from the available button’s props.


Forces the button to use a light or dark theme.

What does this type declaration (`type ButtonProps = React ComponentProps<'button'> & {theme?: 'light' | 'dark';};`) do?

What does this type declaration (<code>type ButtonProps = React ComponentProps&lt;'button'&gt; &amp; {theme?: 'light' | 'dark';};</code>) do?
