proptypes-parser (GitHub: joonhocho/proptypes-parser, License: MIT, npm: proptypes-parser)

When working in in React and you are following the guidelines on how to create components, you’ve probably already ran into the frustration of constantly saying PropTypes.number, PropTypes.string, PropTypes.func etc. Personally I do not like to write all this repetition. So I could do something like this:

import { PropTypes } from 'react';
const { number, string, func, shape, /* etc */ } = PropTypes;

But that does not really work, since I would need to do that on top each file.

proptypes-parser lets you define your PropTypes in a GraphQL-like syntax, like so:

const propTypes = parsePropTypes(`{
  number: Number
  string: String!
  boolean: Boolean
  function: Function!
  date: Date!
  object: Object!
  shape: {
    nested: Number
    array: [Number]
    must: Boolean!
  }!
  array: [Number!]!
  arrayOfObjects: [{
    value: String
  }!]
  node: Node
  element: Element!
  message: Message!
  any: Any!
}`);

It also allows you to define your own custom PropTypes like so:

const parsePropTypes = createPropTypesParser(PropTypes, {
  Message: class Message {} // To use 'Message' type is PropTypes.
});

For further documentation and examples take a look at the README file.
