do not add empty object `= {}` as default `props`

[dimaMachina]

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

I saw in the generated code an empty object as default props props = {}, this is unneeded as props are always object

export default function MDXContent(props = {}) {

Solution

export default function MDXContent(props) {

Alternatives

no alternative

this is unneeded as props are always object

Who defines that?

I think it’s not needed when used as <MDXContent />. But some people don’t do that. Some people do MDXContent()

[dimaMachina]

But some people don’t do that. Some people do

if they do it, they can do MDXContent({}) 😅

Also React always passes an object as props. Other JSX frameworks might not.

[wooorm]

People can indeed do MDXContent({}). And that’s probably good.
But. Now people don’t have to. And indeed: what about other frameworks.
I personally don’t think it’s worth a breaking change. For what benefit?
And I worry about those frameworks.

And indeed: what about other frameworks.

preact definitely should follow React convention, I guess their behaviour should be similar, about other frameworks, idk

For what benefit?

why do specify something that is technically is never will be used, to save some bytes too 😂

Hi team! Could you describe why this has been marked as wontfix?

Thanks,

I would agree with this if it was just a React component, but MDX can be used in various ways.

Feel free to create your own recma plugin if you really want to remove the default argument
