+# Typing DefaultProps
+
+It is easy to [type defaults for functional components](https://twitter.com/GeeWengel/status/1000242363376205825), but there is some debate in the community on how to type the `static defaultProps` field for class-based components. We have an active discussion on several approaches on how to do this. [Please check out our issue here](https://github.com/sw-yx/react-typescript-cheatsheet/issues/4).
