Typescript React component type mismatch

Getting a typescript error when defining any type of simple react functional component with any number of props, including using FC, ComponentWithChildren etc…

Here’s a minimal reproduction

type Props = {
  className?: string;
};

const Horizontal: Props = ({ className = undefined }) => (
  <div />
);

Gives me the error

Type ‘({ className }: { className?: undefined; }) => Element’ has no properties in common with type ‘Props’.ts(2559)

I don’t understand this is how i always defined components. Is there something new in typescript that i don’t know about?

>Solution :

you can change it to:

const Horizontal: FC = ({ className = undefined } : Props)
