This document discusses different approaches to adding types to React components to validate props, including PropTypes, TypeScript, Flow, and Reason. It provides examples of defining component prop types using interfaces, unions, enums, and variants. It also discusses design patterns for conditional rendering based on prop types, such as using discriminated unions and disjoint unions to define draft and published post types. Finally, it covers render props and querying data from GraphQL using variants to handle loading, error, and data states.
