 ## Renaming props
 
 We can also use the destructuring assignment to rename props, which is necessary if they're invalid identifiers, or a JavaScript keyword like `super`:

 ## Type safety
 
 You can add type safety to your components by annotating your props, as you would with any other variable declaration. In TypeScript that might look like this...
