Disallow certain elements (`react/forbid-elements`)

You may want to forbid usage of certain elements in favor of others, (e.g. forbid all <div /> and use <Box /> instead). This rule allows you to configure a list of forbidden elements and to specify their desired replacements.

Rule Details

This rule checks all JSX elements and React.createElement calls and verifies that no forbidden elements are used. This rule is off by default. If on, no elements are forbidden by default.

Rule Options

...
"react/forbid-elements": [<enabled>, { "forbid": [<string|object>] }]
...

`forbid`

An array of strings and/or objects. An object in this array may have the following properties:

element (required): the name of the forbidden element (e.g. 'button', 'Modal')
message: additional message that gets reported

A string item in the array is a shorthand for { element: string }.

Examples of correct code for this rule:

// [1, { "forbid": ["button"] }]
<Button />

// [1, { "forbid": [{ "element": "button" }] }]
<Button />

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

// [1, { "forbid": ["button"] }]
<button />
React.createElement('button');

// [1, { "forbid": ["Modal"] }]
<Modal />
React.createElement(Modal);

// [1, { "forbid": ["Namespaced.Element"] }]
<Namespaced.Element />
React.createElement(Namespaced.Element);

// [1, { "forbid": [{ "element": "button", "message": "use <Button> instead" }, "input"] }]
<div><button /><input /></div>
React.createElement('div', {}, React.createElement('button', {}, React.createElement('input')));
