Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Console Warning: A props object containing a “key” prop is being spread into JSX

What is the root cause of that problem?

This happens in the InputWrapper where we apply spread operator for registerInput which contains key prop:

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5a2602c441170093e99850e2194808218b0aa838/src/components/Form/InputWrapper.tsx#L82

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/d9618ca882b27714c563702c99ee9c9f6e36cde8/src/components/Form/FormProvider.tsx#L298

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Separate the key and other props from registerInput:

const {key, ...restProps} = registerInput();
return <InputComponent key={key} {...restProps} />;

Additionally, we might need to double check every places where we use spread operator for component props to ensure they do not spread key. We can leverage the eslint-disable-next-line react/jsx-props-no-spreading lint for this case.

@gijoe0295 Is this issue going to be resolved in this PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/49222?

[gijoe0295]

@jayeshmangwani No, this should be handled separately.

[jayeshmangwani]

I agree with @gijoe0295 's Proposal. We should check every spread operator used in the other components too and ensure that the key is passed separately from spread
