TypeScript + React: Children types are broken

Read Original

This technical article explains a long-standing issue in React's TypeScript types where the ReactFragment type definition allows any object as children, bypassing type safety. This leads to runtime errors when invalid objects are passed as children, even though TypeScript compiles without errors. The author provides code examples demonstrating the problem and traces it back to a specific line in Definitely Typed definitions from 2015.
