How to disable ESLint react/prop-types rule in a file?

Question

if you have only one file you want to disable prop-type validation you can use:

/* eslint react/prop-types: 0 */

in cases where you have multiple files you can add to your .eslintrc file in your root directory a rule to disable prop-type validation:

{
 "plugins": [
     "react"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "react/prop-types": 0
  }
}

for further rules you can checkout this link that solved my issue and for inconvenience you can also read up from eslint-plugin-react's github documentation about how to disable or enable it with various options.

Just put this on top of your file:

/* eslint-disable react/prop-types */

I had to do:

/* eslint react/forbid-prop-types: 0 */

this did not work for me:

/* eslint react/prop-types: 0 */

To disable globally in your .eslintrc file (old version v6.0 or below):

{
    "rules": {
        "react/forbid-prop-types": 0
    }
}

To disable globally in your .eslintrc file (new version above v6.0):

{
    "rules": {
        "react/prop-types": 0
    }
}

I had to wrap the whole component with the eslint ignore comments.

var React = require('react'); 
var Model = require('./ComponentModel');

/* eslint-disable react/prop-types */
var Component = React.createClass({

    propTypes: Model.propTypes,

    render: function () {
        return (
            <div className="component">
                {this.props.title}
            </div>
        );
    }
});
/* eslint-enable react/prop-types */

Sometimes I have small components in the same file as the major one. There propTypes seems overkill. Then I usually do something like this

// eslint-disable-next-line react/prop-types
const RightArrow = ({ onPress, to }) => (<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => onPress(to)} style={styles.rightArrow}><Chevrons.chevronRight size={25} color="grey" /></TouchableOpacity>);

I had to do this in my .eslintrc config file to disable prop types validation error.

"rules": {
  "react/prop-types": "off"
}
