How do I ensure the property “name” is a required string for the Player Component other than React.PropTypes.string?

I got stuck on the question where it asks how to ensure a prop type is a string.

I tried: React.PropTypes.string and React.PropTypes.string,

as answers.

Do I have a typo?

The question asks you to make sure name is a required string. Your code is correct as far as ensuring it is a string. But marking it as a required string requires you to also add .isRequired.

So the correct answer is: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
