# Enforce Specific Values With PropTypes
|
||||
|
||||
Being able to constrain our user interfaces to very specific values is
|
||||
valuable. This makes our interfaces easier to reason about and easier to
|
||||
test. PropTypes in general are one of the ways that we constrain our UIs. We
|
||||
can go even further than simple type constraints by limiting a prop to a
|
||||
specific set of values, an enum if you will.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
MyComponent.propTypes = {
|
||||
flavors: PropTypes.oneOf(['Vanilla', 'Chocolate', 'Strawberry']),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The docs say about `oneOf()`:
|
||||
|
||||
> You can ensure that your prop is limited to specific values by treating it
|
||||
> as an enum.
|
||||
|
||||
If we use `MyComponent` with a value such as `Pistachio`, we'll have a
|
||||
console warning to answer for.
