What is props spreading in TypeScript with React?

Props spreading is a technique in React where you can pass all properties of an object to a component using the spread operator. This allows for cleaner and more concise code.

Can you give me an example of how to use props spreading?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const Button = ({ label, ...props }) => {
  return <button {...props}>{label}</button>;
};

const App = () => {
  return <Button label="Click Me" onClick={() => alert('Clicked!')} />;
};

In this example, all props passed to the Button component are spread onto the button element.

Are there any downsides to using props spreading?

Yes, one downside is that it can make it harder to track which props are being passed to a component, potentially leading to bugs. It's important to document the expected props.

How does TypeScript handle props spreading?

TypeScript can infer the types of the props being spread, but you should define the prop types explicitly for better type safety. You can use interfaces or types to define the expected props.
