Describe your suggestion

Issue details:

• Both PropTypes and defaultProps does not work in functional component
• defaultProps works but PropTypes doesn't in class component

Possible ways to fix this:

• [quickest] Mention this same exact fact in the beginning of the article so that people can be aware of this and most importantly preventing wastage of their time in figuring out why it doesn't work (they neither get an error nor a warning when using it) It could be fixed by installing react versions lesser than 19.
• Remove the whole propTypes and defaultProps concept (this forces the curriculum to teach typescript in detail)
