8855d6153e gave more accurate error messages for date and regexp by returning 'date' and 'regexp' respectively from `getPropType`.
However, for the object primitive check, which compares the instance passed with `getPropType's` return string, `object` !== 'date'.
This adds special hanlding for those.
This uses the return value (an Error or nothing) to indicate whether a prop passes validation or not. It used to be done through calling `console.warn` as a side-effect, except this didn't work well with and `oneOfType`, which calls each validator.
The solution was to insert a `.weak` prop to each validator to suppress the warning message. This is overkill and also doesn't work well in because it increases the potential API surface. Plus, letting the validators warn it can't be easily used for logging, especially for custom validators.
So `.weak` is no longer needed: fixes https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/863.
Backward compatibility for custom validators: since they didn't return anything and directly call `console.warn` or something, this doesn't break them.
Improvements:
- `arrayOf`, `oneOfType` and `oneOf` got better message now, since they can get hold of their validator's message and output that instead of a generic `warning: bla`.
- More complete tests, including testing custom types and `isRequired` on everything.
Bug fixes:
- oneOfType(...).isRequired didn't work. The workaround was to use `oneOfType(a.isRequired, b.isRequired, ...)`. This means `oneOfType(a.isRequired, b)` doesn't make sense. The new version simply makes `oneOfType(...).isRequired` possible.
- `oneOf([true])` worked for 'true' boolean because it converted everything to string before comparing. It no longer does.
- `oneOf([true]).isRequired` didn't work.
(see #1294)
The following steps also have an ajax function, but the 'error:' param
is gone after #13:
#14#17#19#20
This may be superfluous, but it helped me find an error with something I
was doing - Namely, in my .json file, I had single line javascript
comments ("//") that I copied from the tutorial. I couldn't find the
issue on later steps, but was able to see my issue when the error
handler complained about an unexpected "/" in my file in step #13.
