Using a props property in connected components

[claudiorodriguez]

Hi everyone.

It seems that passing a store property into a connected component overrides the store from the context in typical cases (i.e. not specifying a storeKey, using standard connect, etc).
This seems to be expected as you mention here https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux/blob/master/docs/api.md#L8 but it has been a surprise as the error messages resulting from trying to use the property for something else, unawares, have been a bit hard to decipher

My question is - do you think it would be a good idea to check here
https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux/blob/master/src/components/connectAdvanced.js#L122
somehow if the value of the property is an actual redux store, and throw a useful error if it's not?
Or perhaps using a different default storeKey like __store?

Cheers

We do this via propTypes. You should get a warning related to that if you're passing in something that doesn't match the expected shape.
