Why was onAdd added inside propTypes, but onSubmit wasn't? What's the difference?

onAdd was added inside AddPlayerForm.propTypes because the onAdd is being passed as a prop from the Application component to AddPlayerForm component. onSubmit is not being passed as a prop from App component, and is defined within class AddPlayerForm. This is why onSubmit was not added inside propTypes. So the difference is that onAdd is being passed as a prop from another component, while onSubmit isn't and is used to submit the AddPlayer form. Does this answer your question?
