Validate the diagnostic

Confirm the reported code matches this rule before you edit it.

Confirm the reported code matches react-doctor/no-redundant-display-class. Compare it with the Before example and verify the same API, framework, and execution context. Treat it as a false positive only when one of those conditions differs.

Compare the code

The corrected pattern shows a focused way to address the diagnostic.

Reported pattern

const A = () => <span className="inline text-sm" />;

Corrected pattern

const A = () => <span className="text-sm" />;

How to fix

Use the corrected pattern as a reference. Preserve behavior that the rule does not require you to change.

Copyable fix prompt

Copy this self-contained prompt into your coding agent after you confirm the diagnostic.

Fix every confirmed react-doctor/no-redundant-display-class diagnostic in the current repository. Required change: - Drop the display class that matches the element's default (block on a <div>, inline on a <span>). It is pure noise; keep only display changes like flex, grid, or hidden.

Reference transformation:Before:

const A = () => <span className="inline text-sm" />;

After:

const A = () => <span className="text-sm" />;

Constraints: - Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern. - Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause. - Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic. - Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions. - Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations. - Use existing brand assets, product facts, content, and design tokens. - Do not invent claims, customer data, typefaces, or artwork. - Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly. - Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code. - Confirm this rule is enabled for the project: tailwind. Verification: - Run focused tests for the changed behavior. - Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears. - Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.

More Maintainability rules from the rules reference:

react-doctor/no-redundant-should-component-update: Drop shouldComponentUpdate when extending PureComponent, or extend React.Component if custom comparison logic is genuinely needed.
react-doctor/no-redundant-title-tooltip: Title tooltip repeats visible control text
react-doctor/no-render-in-render: Extract to a named component: `const ListItem = ({ item }) => <div>{item.name}</div>`
react-doctor/no-render-prop-children: Replace `renderXxx` props with compound subcomponents (e.g. `<Modal.Header>`) or `children` so the parent doesn't dictate every customization point
react-doctor/no-repeated-container-text: A card repeats the same text in distinct slots
