Property ‘children’ does not exist on type ‘intrinsicattributes’.

The ‘children’ property does not exist on type ‘IntrinsicAttributes’.

Explanation:

In TypeScript, ‘IntrinsicAttributes’ is a type that represents the props or attributes of a React component. It is a generic type that is used as the base for defining component props.

The error message you mentioned typically occurs when you are trying to use the ‘children’ property, which represents the nested content or components within a parent component, but the type definition of your component or props does not include this property.

Example:

    import React from 'react';

    // Define a functional component with props
    const MyComponent: React.FC<MyComponentProps> = ({ text }) => {
      return (
        <div>
          <p>{text}</p>
        </div>
      );
    };

    // Define the interface for props
    interface MyComponentProps {
      text: string;
    }

    // Using the MyComponent
    const App: React.FC = () => {
      return (
        <div>
          <MyComponent text="Hello World">
            <p>This is child content</p> // This will result in the error
          </MyComponent>
        </div>
      );
    };

    export default App;
  

In the above example, we have a functional component ‘MyComponent’ that expects a ‘text’ prop of type string. However, when using ‘MyComponent’ in the ‘App’ component, we are mistakenly trying to provide additional child content within ‘MyComponent’, using the ‘children’ property, which is not present in the ‘MyComponentProps’ interface.

To resolve this error, you have a couple of options:

• Remove the child content from ‘MyComponent’ if it is not needed.
• Add the ‘children’ property in the ‘MyComponentProps’ interface:

    // Updated interface for props
    interface MyComponentProps {
      text: string;
      children?: React.ReactNode; // Include the 'children' property
    }
  

By including the ‘children?: React.ReactNode’ property in the ‘MyComponentProps’ interface, you can now provide nested content within ‘MyComponent’ without any error.
