Failed prop type: Chat: prop type `room` is invalid; it must be a function, usually from React.PropTypes

Question

this is the full code for the react component:

import React from 'react';

class Chat extends React.Component {
    handleSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault();

        this.props.addMessage(this.props.room.id, this.state.message);

        this.setState({ message: '' });
    }

    handleMsgChange(event) {
        this.setState({ message: event.target.value });
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <div>{this.props.room.messages.toString()}</div>
                <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
                    <input
                        onChange={this.handleMsgChange}
                        value={this.state.message}
                        type="text" placeholder="Your message"
                    />
                    <input type="submit" value="Send" />
                </form>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Chat.propTypes = {
    addMessage: React.PropTypes.func,
    room: React.PropTypes.Object,
};

export default Chat;

and I get the error:

Failed prop type: Chat: prop type room is invalid; it must be a function, usually from React.PropTypes.

Answer 1

Change room: React.PropTypes.Object to room: React.PropTypes.object. You've made a typo, object property should start with o in lowercase.
