* You can even use the native Markdown here.
* E.g.:
* ```html
*
* ```
*/
export class MyComponent extends React.Component {
static displayName = 'Official Component Name'
static propTypes = {
/**
* Description of prop "foo".
*/
foo: React.PropTypes.number,
/**
* Description of prop "bar" (a custom validation function).
*/
bar: function(props, propName, componentName) {
// ...
},
baz: React.PropTypes.oneOfType([
React.PropTypes.number,
React.PropTypes.string
]),
}
static defaultProps = {
foo: 10000099999
}
render () {
return (
Hello);
}
}
```
