Uniforms: React "Unknown props" warnings

[RSchwan]

I'm not sure if this is intended or not but I get a bunch of "Unknown props" errors.
Per example:

Warning: Unknown props `model`, `schema`, `validate` on <form> tag. Remove these props from the element. For details, see https://fb.me/react-unknown-prop
    in form
    in AutoValidatedQuickSemanticForm (created by CreateDivisionPage)
    in div (created by CreateDivisionPage)
    in div (created by Modal)
    in div (created by Modal)
    in div (created by Modal)
    in Modal (created by CreateDivisionPage)
    in CreateDivisionPage (created by RouterContext)
    in div (created by AppLayout)

It's a new feature in [email protected] - it's on my roadmap, but it will take a long time to filter all props. I'll do it step by step, but every help is appreciated.

[RSchwan]

I could help. I just need to know how so that everything is done the same way.

[radekmie]

Okay - I'll do it in one of the packages.

[serkandurusoy]

@radekmie this is the list of standard dom properties that are supported by react

https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/src/renderers/dom/shared/HTMLDOMPropertyConfig.js#L24

Do you think we can create a wrapper around this that shares a props object to two different objects, one with the allowed standard ones and other with the remaining, custom ones.

this way, we can pass on the second one as props and use the first one where appropriate

[serkandurusoy]

For reference, here's a proper Array:

const ALLOWED_STANDARD_HTML_PROPERTIES = [
  "accept",
  "acceptCharset",
  "accessKey",
  "action",
  "allowFullScreen",
  "allowTransparency",

  "color",
  "itemProp",
  "itemScope",
  "itemType",
  "itemID",
  "itemRef",
  "results",
  "security",
  "unselectable",
];

And we should also whitelist and send down all props that begin with data- or aria-

[serkandurusoy]

Apart from the unknown props, there other other erros:

Failed prop type: AutoValidatedQuickUnstyledForm: prop type `onChangeModel` is invalid; it must be a function, usually from React.PropTypes.

Unknown DOM property autosave. Did you mean autoSave?

Unknown props `model`, `schema`, `validate` on <form> tag. Remove these props from the element. For details, see https://fb.me/react-unknown-prop

[radekmie]

I think it's unnecessary @serkandurusoy - I've done it manually in uniforms-bootstrap3 - it wasn't that hard and long.

1. It's already done.
2. It's also already done.
3. And this one too.

[sabativi]

I am right saying that it is not working because of those errors with react 15.0.2 ?

I can't managed to have your simple example working...

[radekmie]

These are just warnings introduced in [email protected]. More info here. If you need some help, @sabativi, then go ahead and write me an email or create an issue if you've encountered a (possible) bug.

[radekmie]

Okay, I think I've removed everything - comment here if you find something left.

[serkandurusoy]

Seems like fixed, thanks!

[MacRusher]

Missed one:

Warning: Unknown prop `regEx` on <section> tag. Remove this prop from the element.
  in section (created by Text)
  in Text (created by BaseField(Text))

Happens only when you have a regEx key in the schema.

I guess that other custom SimpleSchema extensions would also be passed down.

[RSchwan]

You also missed the custom key:

Warning: Unknown prop `custom` on <section> tag. Remove this prop from the element. For details, see https://fb.me/react-unknown-prop
    in section (created by Num)
    in Num (created by BaseField(Num))
    in BaseField(Num) (created by Auto)
    in Auto (created by BaseField(Auto))
    in BaseField(Auto) (created by DivisionForm)

[radekmie]

Well, those are from SimpleSchema, so I don't really know, what to do - it won't be a good idea to intercept every schema props from every field... I guess, that we have to go along with something like @serkandurusoy have suggested. I'll try to come up with something, but ideas are welcome (as always).

[MacRusher]

Maybe SimpleSchema related props could be handled on a bridge-level, maybe only limited whitelisted props could be passed down to components?

Other then that only solution I see is to filter out invalid values before passing them to elements.

[serkandurusoy]

Simple schema options can be extended in which case whitelisting fields on
SS would cause custom options to cause problems.

for example, uniforms is a custom ss property!

I think that something like:

export function filterDOMProps (props) {
    // Either
    props = {...props};
    // or
    props = Object.assign({}, props);

    delete props.findError;
    delete props.findField;
    delete props.findType;
    // ...

    return props;
}

in core package will be sufficient. What do you think?

[radekmie]

No @serkandurusoy, uniforms key in SS won't be a problem.

[serkandurusoy]

You will then need to maintain this and also anyone extending current components will also need to be aware of that.

So instead, I think you should go the other way around. Filter out react's "known props" (the list I provided in an earlier comment) and do a return { standardProps, customProps } instead of return props

[MacRusher]

I was thinking more about something like:

export function filterDOMProps (props) {
  const DOMProps = {};
  for (let prop in props) {
    if (
      prop.startsWith('data-') ||
      prop.startsWith('aria-') ||
      ALLOWED_STANDARD_HTML_PROPERTIES.includes(prop)
    ) {
      DOMProps[prop] = props[prop];
    }
  }
  return DOMProps;
}

Of course some testing and benchmarks would be nice to have.

[radekmie]

Yes, @MacRusher - that would be quite good, but some benchmarking is needed (that standard props array is big!). It's interesting, that React doesn't offer such function out of box.

[MacRusher]

If we could write this in a way that browsers could be able to inline cache then this wouldn't be much of a problem, but I'm not sure at the moment if this is possible.
I can only imagine that almost all React-based libraries face the same issue right now so someone must find an effective solution :)

[serkandurusoy]

Perhaps we could use a memoizing function to ease the re-evaluation?

[radekmie]

Memoization would help, if we will call it many times with same objects - we won't.

[radekmie]

Well, well, well.

[serkandurusoy]

it would at least help for apps that create the same components over and over again, would it not?

And wow! So we go back to square one :)

[radekmie]

Closing time!

I've added new filterDOMProps helper to the core package. By default, it remove all unwated props and has an option to register new ones through filterDOMProps.register(...props) (bridges will do it surely). If any props are left, please let me know or create a PR for it.

[radekmie]

And here is a little gem I've found during benchmarks.

| Browser | no. 1 | no. 2 | no. 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Chrome 53 | 49,532 | 101,640 | 108,928 |
| Epiphany 3.20 | 88,915 | 50,065 | 71,810 |
| Firefox 47 | 24,939 | 33,386 | 71,325 |
| Opera 38 | 49,394 | 96,065 | 78,075 |
| Vivaldi 1.2.490 | 49,376 | 95,817 | 81,536 |

Currently implemented is no. 3.

_Why Firefox is so slow?_

[BudgieInWA]

This seems to be the wrong way to go about this. My reasoning is like this:

1. Schema definitions are conceptually arbitrary objects that the schema understands.
2. The bridge translates the schema definition into a standard definition that uniforms uses.
3. The uniforms option of this standard definition is used to communicate Uniforms specific stuff.
4. Attributes on the html element used to render the form control for a field are Uniforms specific stuff.
5. So, the properties of my schema definition should not be used as attributes to the html element, instead, I should specify such attributes as part of the uniforms property in my definition.

To elaborate, even though a property of the standard definition, like min, have an equivalent html attribute, the Schema Bridge doesn't include a min property for this reason, but instead because it's a property that Uniforms expects. This is shown by the fact that in the case of a DateField, the type of the min property is different to the corresponding type of the underlying HTML element. The schema definition is so far removed from the attributes of an html element that collects a value, that it is wrong (IMO) to assume that a definition property should be an html attribute.

I would expect, instead, for html attributes to be specified in the uniforms key of my schema definition, maybe uniforms.htmlAttributes or uniforms.attrs or any property of uniforms that doesn't have any other meaning.

[radekmie]

@BudgieInWA: sorry for the delay - I’m sure I’ve answered you but this comment seem to disappear.

It makes more or less sense, depending on the schema and your background. If you come from Meteor Blaze autoform, then you integrate schema validation almost 1 to 1 with form attributes. Other thing is that it was somehow a design decision to make it as easy to start as possible and let users tweak it to their needs. Right now, you can change this behavior by explicitly setting some values to undefined. I’m a bit unsure on what’s better - to double definition of max, min and others (which is IMO more common) than sometimes null it when needed.

Remember, that it’s also possible to implement own schema bridge. You can easily fork default ones to work with your case and separate them.

[michaellill-corefihub]

We had this problem when extending simpleschema. We solved it like this:

const schmemaExtensions = ["interfieldvisibility"];

SimpleSchema.extendOptions(schmemaExtensions);

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    schmemaExtensions.forEach((schmemaExtension) => {
        filterDOMProps.register(schmemaExtension as any);
    });
}

[michaellill-corefihub]

@radekmie may make sense to add this to the documentation of simpleschema bridge?

[radekmie]

@michaellill-corefihub: Thanks for the suggestion! I believe we could just link to filterDOMProps in the bridges docs + extend the filterDOMProps docs. I'll file an issue for that.

[michaellill-corefihub]

@radekmie Even better. Thank you!
