The focus of this chapter has been React component property validation. When you implement property validation, you know what to expect; this promotes portability. The component doesn't care how the property values are passed to it, just as long as they're valid.
Then, you worked on several examples that used the basic React validators to check primitive JavaScript types. You also learned that if a property is required, it must be made explicit. Next, you learned how to validate more complex property values by combining the built-in validators that come with React.
Finally, you implemented your own custom validator functions to perform validation that goes beyond what's possible with the prop-types validators. In the next chapter, you'll learn how to handle navigation using React routes.
