javascript - Accessing PropTypes via the main React package is deprecated

Question

I'm using redux but when I run my code I have this error:

Accessing PropTypes via the main React package is deprecated. Use the prop-types package from npm instead.

I install

npm i prop-types -S

but I I still have the same error.

./components/action/article.js

import * as ArticleActionTypes   from '../actiontypes/article';

export const AddArticle = (name, description, prix, image) => {
    return {
        type: ArticleActionTypes.ADD_ARTICLE,
        name, 
        description, 
        prix,
        image
    }
}

export const RemoveArticle = index => {
    return {
        type: ArticleActionTypes.REMOVE_ARTICLE,
        index
    }
}

export const ADD_ARTICLE = 'article/ADD_ARTICLE';
export const REMOVE_ARTICLE = 'article/REMOVE_ARTICLE';
export const UPDATE_ARTICLE = 'article/UPDATE_ARTICLE';

./components/reducers/article.js

import * as ArticleActionTypes   from '../actiontypes/article';

const initialState = [

}

const mapStateToProps = state => {
    {
        articles :state

Scoreboard.propTypes = {
  articles: PropTypes.array.isRequired
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(Scoreboard);

As others have mentioned- if you have audited your own project for PropTypes uses but you're still seeing the warning- it's likely coming from an upstream dependency. One way you can track down the cause of this warning is by setting a debug breakpoint where it's logged and then stepping back to the caller. Here's a quick example recording I made:

(A higher-quality version is available here.)

Once you've identified the library in question, consider filing a Github issue (or better yet- a PR!) to inform the authors of the new warning.

In the meanwhile, this is only a dev-mode warning so it should not affect production usage of your application.
