React - Use PropTypes to Define the Props You Expect

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
Why doesn’t it throw an error when i provide a string instead of a number?

Your code so far

const Items = (props) => {
  return <h1>Current Quantity of Items in Cart: {props.quantity}</h1>
};

// Change code below this line
Items.propTypes = {quantity: PropTypes.number.isRequired}
// Change code above this line
Items.defaultProps = {
  quantity: 0
};

class ShoppingCart extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }
  render() {
    return <Items quantity = {"h"} />
  }
};

Most likely because of how the React challenges are run and tested. You should normally get a warning.

Warning: Failed prop type: Invalid prop quantity of type string supplied to Items, expected number.

Here is the code on StackBlitz. If you open the browser console you can see the warning.
