-> asked on S/O here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37189910/react-stateless-component-children-with-typescript-error-property-children no responses so far.

TypeScript Version:
1.8.2

Code

// presentational components
const MsgDisplay = ({msg}) => (
  <div>
    {msg} // will be more complicated later
  </div>)

const RowDisplay = ({data, children}) => (
  <tr>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>{ children }</td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>)

// container component
public render() {
    return (
      <RowDisplay data={this.props.xyz} >
        <MsgDisplay msg={someMsg} />
      </RowDisplay>
    )
  }

Expected behavior:

Should compile.

Actual behavior:

Complains that error TS2324: Property 'children' is missing in type 'IntrinsicAttributes & { data: any; children: any; }'.

Seems it can't see the children being passed in jsx notation.

I also face this problem, but I go around it by making children optional. Not a good solution though.

I think this issue is similar to #7992 and #6471. We have decided to not make special treatment for children property.

EDIT: Talk with @RyanCavanaugh we should fix this behavior and TypeScript compiler should understand children property

Nice to see that this is planned for 2.1. It makes working with React really hard currently.

Does it progress any further? Is it going to be covered by #13618?
I just recently ran to this issue. It's pretty annoying when you components constructed as HOCs.

This looks like a duplicate of #13618, we would like to get that addressed in TS 2.3.

Closing in favor of #13618
