+# Forbid foreign propTypes (forbid-foreign-prop-types)
+
+This rule forbids using another component's prop types unless they are explicitly imported/exported. This allows people who want to use [babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types](https://github.com/oliviertassinari/babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types) to remove propTypes from their components in production builds, to do so safely.
+
+In order to ensure that imports are explicitly exported it is recommended to use the ["named" rule in eslint-plugin-import](https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/named.md) in conjunction with this rule.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule checks all objects and ensures that the `propTypes` property is not used.
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```js
+import SomeComponent from './SomeComponent';
+SomeComponent.propTypes;
+
+var { propTypes } = SomeComponent;
+
+SomeComponent['propTypes'];
+```
+
+The following patterns are not considered warnings:
+
+```js
+import SomeComponent, {propTypes as someComponentPropTypes} from './SomeComponent';
+```
+
+## When not to use
+
+This rule aims to make a certain production optimization, removing prop types, less prone to error. This rule may not be relevant to you if you do not wish to make use of this optimization.
