Rescript bindings for JSX.IntrinsicElements prop type

Hi

In our workplace the react library relies heavily on typescript. Lately certain props have a type
keyof JSX.IntrinsicElements

For example:

interface Props {
  ...,
  tagName?: keyof JSX.IntrinsicElements
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now how to pass this prop from the rescript side. After checking out the documentation https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsx.html#intrinsic-elements and type definitions in @types/react/index.d.ts, I came up with polymorphic variant which would solve prop type issue.

module JSX = {
  module IntrinsicElements = {
    type t = [
      | #a
      | #abbr
      | #address
      | #area
      | #article
      | #aside

      | #b
      | #base
      | #bdi
      | #bdo

      | #blockquote

module Tile = {
  @genType.import("./Tile") @react.component
  external make: (
    ~tagName: JSX.IntrinsicElements.t
  ) => React.element = "Tile"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is working fine. If anyone has a better suggestion please comment.
