javascript - React does not recognize the `isActive` prop on a DOM element - Stack Overflow

I'm using an isActive property in React. It's not a native property but I would like to use it to make sense in my code logic. However, React is displaying this warning:

StyledComponent.ts:159 styled-ponents: it looks like an unknown prop "isActive" is being sent through to the DOM, which will likely trigger a React console error. If you would like automatic filtering of unknown props, you can opt-into that behavior via <StyleSheetManager shouldForwardProp={...}> (connect an API like @emotion/is-prop-valid) or consider using transient props($ prefix for automatic filtering.)

VM2196:1 Warning: React does not recognize the isActive prop on a DOM element. If you intentionally want it to appear in the DOM as a custom attribute, spell it as lowercase isactive instead. If you accidentally passed it from a parent ponent, remove it from the DOM element.

I tried using the $ prefix, but it didn't work. I tried using props in the poment, it didn't work either.

• Does this answer your question? styled-ponent .attrs - React does not recognize prop – Wing Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 15:59
• I tested the solution in the linked question. Prefixing the relevant props with $ should work. If they didn't work for you, please update the code in the question to show how you were using $. I suspect, however, the problem is a misunderstanding on how to use Styled Component's transient props or a typo. – Wing Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 16:02

I've got almost exactly the same code, and I am getting the same error: I'm using styled-ponents, i've got a "Container" styled ponent, and i'm passing a boolean prop called "isActive". And I am getting the exact same error.

This used to work fine, something must be broken recently. (I am using a "vite" project, if that matters.)

Now I've tried:

const Container = styled.div`
  color: ${({ $isactive }) => ($isactive ? "white" : "gray")};
`;

and

<Container $isactive={!!user}>

Now it works. So: everywhere you have "isActive", you change it to "$isActive", and it works. I don't know why, it is not ideal, and it used to work without needing a $, but i can live with this for now.

Ah, some documentation here: https://styled-ponents./docs/api#transient-props

And apparently Evan Jacobs has written a nice article to explain exactly that: https://medium./@probablyup/introducing-transient-props-f35fd5203e0c
