-## Typing defaultProps
+## You May Not Need `defaultProps`
 
-For TypeScript 3.0+, type inference [should work](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-0.html), although [some edge cases are still problematic](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-cheatsheet/issues/61). Just type your props like normal, except don't use `React.FC`.
+As per [this tweet](https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1133878326358171650), defaultProps will eventually be deprecated. You can check the discussions here:

+## Typing `defaultProps`
+
+Type inference improved greatly for `defaultProps` in [TypeScript 3.0+](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-0.html), although [some edge cases are still problematic](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-cheatsheet/issues/61).

 };
 
 const Greet = (props: GreetProps) => {
-  /*...*/

 };
 Greet.defaultProps = defaultProps;

+The above implementations work fine for App creators, but sometimes you want to be able to export `GreetProps` so that others can consume it. The problem here is that the way `GreetProps` is defined, `age` is a required prop when it isn't because of `defaultProps`.
 
-- https://twitter.com/hswolff/status/1133759319571345408
+The insight to have here is that [`GreetProps` is the _internal_ contract for your component, not the _external_, consumer facing contract](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react/issues/66#issuecomment-453878710). You could create a separate type specifically for export, or you could make use of the `JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes` utility:
 
-The consensus is to use object default values.
+```tsx
+// internal contract, should not be exported out
+type GreetProps = {
+  age?: number;
+};
+
+class Greet extends Component<GreetProps> {
+  static defaultProps = { age: 21 };
+}
+
+// external contract
+export type ApparentGreetProps = JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes<
+  typeof Greet,
+  GreetProps
+>;
+```
+
+``
+This will work properly, although hovering over `ApparentGreetProps` may be a little intimidating. You can reduce this boilerplate with the `ComponentProps` utility detailed below.

+
+## Consuming Props of a Component with defaultProps
+
+A component with `defaultProps` may seem to have some required props that actually aren't.
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+Here's what you want to do:
 
 ```tsx
-// ////////////////
-// function components
-// ////////////////
-type GreetProps = { age: number };
+interface IProps {
+  name: string;
+}
+const defaultProps = {
+  age: 25,
+};
+const GreetComponent = ({ name, age }: IProps & typeof defaultProps) => (
+  <div>{`Hello, my name is ${name}, ${age}`}</div>
+);
+GreetComponent.defaultProps = defaultProps;
 
-const Greet = ({ age = 21 }: GreetProps) => {
-  /*...*/
+const TestComponent = (props: React.ComponentProps<typeof GreetComponent>) => {
+  return <h1 />;
 };
+
+// Property 'age' is missing in type '{ name: string; }' but required in type '{ age: number; }'
+const el = <TestComponent name="foo" />;
 ```
 
+### Solution
+
+Define a utility that applies `JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes`:
+
 ```tsx
-// ////////////////
-// class components
-// ////////////////
-type GreetProps =  {
-  age?: number;
+type ComponentProps<T> = T extends
+  | React.ComponentType<infer P>
+  | React.Component<infer P>
+  ? JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes<T, P>
+  : never;
+
+const TestComponent = (props: ComponentProps<typeof GreetComponent>) => {
+  return <h1 />;
 };
 
-class Greet extends React.Component<GreetProps> {
-  const { age = 21 } = this.props
-  /*...*/
-}
-
-let el = <Greet age={3} />;
+// No error
+const el = <TestComponent name="foo" />;
 ```
