As such, it should not ever be modified by the component.
As such, it should not ever be modified by the component!!
- **`refs`** (Object): the `refs` object contains all references to sub DOM nodes
or sub widgets defined by a `t-ref` directive in the component's template.
### Static Properties
- **`props`** (Object, optional): if given, this is an object that describes the
type and shape of the (actual) props given to the component. If Owl mode is
`dev`, this will be used to validate the props each time the component is
created/updated. See [Props Validation](#props-validation) for more information.
- **`defaultProps`** (Object, optional): if given, this object define default
values for (top-level) props. Whenever `props` are given to the object, they
will be altered to add default value (if missing). Note that it does not
change the initial object, a new object will be created instead.

### Props Validation
As an application becomes complex, it may be quite unsafe to define props in an informal way. This leads to two issues:
- hard to tell how a component should be used, by looking at its code.
- unsafe, it is easy to send wrong props into a component, either by refactoring a component, or one of its parent.
A props type system would solve both issues, by describing the types and shapes
of the props. Here is how it works in Owl:
- `props` key is a static key (so, different from `this.props` in a component instance)
- it is optional: it is ok for a component to not define a `props` key.
- props are validated whenever a component is created/updated
- props are only validated in `dev` mode (see [tooling page](tooling.md#development-mode))
- if a key does not match the description, an error is thrown
- it only validates keys defined in (static) `props`. Additional keys in (component) `props` are not validated.
For example:
```js
class ComponentA extends owl.Component {
static props = ['id', 'url'];
...
}
class ComponentB extends owl.Component {
static props = {
count: {type: Number},
messages: {
type: Array,
element: {type: Object, shape: {id: Boolean, text: 'string' }
},
date: Date,
combinedVal: [Number, Boolean]
};
...
}
```
- it is an object or a list of strings
- a list of strings is a simplified props definition, which only lists the name
of the props.
- all props are by default required, unless they are defined with `optional: true`
(in that case, validation is only done if there is a value)
- valid types are: `Number, String, Boolean, Object, Array, Date, Function`, and all
constructor functions (so, if you have a `Person` class, it can be used as a type)
- arrays are homogeneous (all elements have the same type/shape)
For each key, a `prop` definition is either a constructor, a list of constructors, or an object:
- a constructor: this should describe the type, for example: `id: Number` describe
the props `id` as a number
- a list of constructors. In that case, this means that we allow more than one
type. For example, `id: [Number, String]` means that `id` can be either a string
or a number.
- an object. This makes it possible to have more expressive definition. The following sub keys are then allowed:
- `type`: the main type of the prop being validated
- `element`: if the type was `Array`, then the `element` key describes the type of each element in the array. It is optional (not set means that we only validate the array, not its elements),
- `shape`: if the type was `Object`, then the `shape` key describes the interface of the object. It is optional (not set means that we only validate the object, not its elements)
Examples:
```js
// only the existence of those 3 keys is documented
static props = ['message', 'id', 'date'];
```
```js
static props = {
messageIds: {type: Array, element: Number}, // list of number
otherArr: {type: Array}, // just array. no validation is made on sub elements
otherArr2: Array, // same as otherArr
someObj: {type: Object}, // just an object, no internal validation
someObj2: {
type: Object,
shape: {
id: Number,
name: {type: String, optional: true},
url: String
]}, // object, with keys id (number), name (string, optional) and url (string)
someFlag: Boolean, // a boolean, mandatory (even if `false`)
someVal: [Boolean, Date] // either a boolean or a date
};
```
