What it does

Disallows the use of cloneElement.

Why is this bad?

Using cloneElement is uncommon and can lead to fragile code. This also makes it harder to trace the data flow. Try the alternatives instead.

Examples

Failing

import { cloneElement } from "react";
 
const clonedElement = cloneElement(
  <Row title="Cabbage">Hello</Row>,
  { isHighlighted: true },
  "Goodbye"
);
 
console.log(clonedElement); // <Row title="Cabbage" isHighlighted={true}>Goodbye</Row>
