React-dnd: Uncaught Error: Item must be an object

[Okami92]

Hi. I tried to find any mentions of this bug, but unfortunately nothing was present here or on web.

I started a project and have pretty simple setup and when trying to drag element, having this error:
http://prntscr.com/jpfale

This is my Drag component:

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import styled from 'styled-components';
import { DragSource } from 'react-dnd';

const Container = styled.span`
  margin: 10px;
  font-size: 4rem;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: 0.4s;

  &.is-clicked {
    color: ${({ theme }) => theme.colors.purple};
  }

  &.is-hidden {
    opacity: 0;
  }
`;

const spec = {
  beginDrag(props) {
    console.log('test');
    return {};
  },
};

const WordItem = ({
  children,
  item,
  isHidden,
  handleClick,
  connectDragSource,
}) => {
  return connectDragSource(
    <span>
      <Container
        className={item.clicked ? 'is-clicked' : isHidden}
        onClick={handleClick}
      >
        {children}
      </Container>
    </span>,
  );
};

WordItem.propTypes = {
  children: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  item: PropTypes.objectOf(PropTypes.any).isRequired,
  isHidden: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  handleClick: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};

export default DragSource('word', spec, (connect, monitor) => ({
  connectDragSource: connect.dragSource(),
  isDragging: monitor.isDragging(),
  dropResult: monitor.getDropResult(),
  canDrag: monitor.canDrag(),
}))(WordItem);

Container connected with context:

export default DragDropContext(HTML5Backend)(App);

I already did one project with react-dnd, but this is the first time I see this issue. Here is my package.json if this problem could be linked with libraries compatibility:

I'm also seeing this error. Here is a very simple sandbox that shows the problem:

As soon as you try to drag the card, the error described by the OP occurs.

[darthtrevino]

The error is here, it looks like the component has not been received at this point, so this short-circuits without calling the beginDrag() function of the spec.

https://github.com/react-dnd/react-dnd/blob/c4bab9ac93e5a04d743b1267b325128392ce15b7/packages/react-dnd/src/createSourceFactory.ts#L93

@andrew-farries, there are two issues here: one is on our end, a predicate check is failing and resulting in silent failures.

The other issue is on your end - because we use ref to get a handle on the DOM element of your component, you can't use a React SFC as a DragSource, DropTarget, or DragLayer - they have to be classes that extend React.Component.
