github.com/facebook/prop-types is the 2nd google search result for this term, and is what I was referring to, although the first result (devhints.io/react#property-validation) is arguably a better summary.
Ie. ‘lite’ type checking, used in react.
(did you perhaps see the results for ‘javascript prop type hint’ as a google autocorrect suggestion or something? This is a well known term, but I’m pretty amazed two seconds of google didn’t discover what it was...)
I read it and thought you were referring to something related to some proptype based code completion. The use of 'hinting' threw me off completely, especially when you're talking about checking & validating.
Yes I found the prop-types library, but it doesn't include the word "hint" and I couldn't find any documentation that did. I assumed there this was an obscure term of art you were refering to.
