# `react-doctor/jsx-pascal-case`

Rename custom JSX components to PascalCase.

- **Active when:** always
- **Requirements:** react
- **Tags:** test-noise
- **Priority:** 26 (P3)
- **Source:** oxlint-plugin-react-doctor

## Validation prompt

Confirm the detector match and collect the required evidence before deciding whether an edit is warranted.

Fires on a JSX element whose name starts with an uppercase letter but whose name (or any dotted/namespaced segment of it) isn't PascalCase: first char uppercase plus at least one later lowercase letter or digit: e.g. <Test_component />, <YMCA />, <Styled.h1 />. Lowercase-first names are treated as HTML tags and skipped, single-char segments are skipped, and a leading underscore is stripped before the check (allowLeadingUnderscore defaults to true here, unlike upstream OXC). False positive / non-trigger to watch: a member expression whose ROOT segment is lowercase (<qualification.BadName /> or <styled.button />) is skipped entirely, so later non-PascalCase segments go unreported: and with allowNamespace on, only the first segment is validated, letting <Foo.Bad_Name /> slip through.

## Evidence boundary

The diagnostic proves only that the detector's modeled source pattern matched. It does not prove runtime impact, product intent, rendered failure, or that one remediation is correct.

Establish the environment, explicit repository policy, relevant exceptions, and required rendered or runtime evidence before deciding the occurrence. This page’s Assessment and Required evidence fields define the review contract.

Default severity is registry metadata. Use the occurrence's JSON severity after repository configuration when ordering real findings.

Record one outcome:

- **Confirmed failure:** The required evidence establishes the violation.
- **Rejected:** A documented exception or false-positive predicate applies.
- **Needs evidence:** Named evidence can still be collected.
- **Unavailable:** Required evidence cannot be collected in this run.
- **Waived with evidence:** An authorized, scoped exception applies to an established failure.
- **Observation:** The review records an optional tradeoff without claiming a defect.

A waiver records its scope, authority, evidence, and review or expiry condition. It is not a pass or false positive.

## Fix prompt

Apply this candidate correction only after the required evidence confirms the risk.

Rename the component (and each dotted segment) to PascalCase: <Test_component /> becomes <TestComponent />, <Styled.h1 /> becomes <Styled.H1 />. If the all-caps name is an intentional acronym component (e.g. <YMCA />), either rename it (<Ymca />) or opt in via the allowAllCaps setting; for known import-alias wrappers add the exact name to the rule's ignore glob list rather than editing call sites. Leading-underscore aliases like <_ContextMenu /> are already allowed by default. See https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter/rules/react/jsx-pascal-case

## Repository-wide copy prompt

Use this only for a repository-wide pass after validating each occurrence. For one occurrence, use the occurrence-level guidance above.

Fix every confirmed `react-doctor/jsx-pascal-case` diagnostic in the current repository.

Required change:
- Rename the component (and each dotted segment) to PascalCase: <Test_component /> becomes <TestComponent />, <Styled.h1 /> becomes <Styled.H1 />. If the all-caps name is an intentional acronym component (e.g. <YMCA />), either rename it (<Ymca />) or opt in via the allowAllCaps setting; for known import-alias wrappers add the exact name to the rule's ignore glob list rather than editing call sites. Leading-underscore aliases like <_ContextMenu /> are already allowed by default. See https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter/rules/react/jsx-pascal-case.

Validation before editing:
Fires on a JSX element whose name starts with an uppercase letter but whose name (or any dotted/namespaced segment of it) isn't PascalCase: first char uppercase plus at least one later lowercase letter or digit: e.g. <Test_component />, <YMCA />, <Styled.h1 />. Lowercase-first names are treated as HTML tags and skipped, single-char segments are skipped, and a leading underscore is stripped before the check (allowLeadingUnderscore defaults to true here, unlike upstream OXC). False positive / non-trigger to watch: a member expression whose ROOT segment is lowercase (<qualification.BadName /> or <styled.button />) is skipped entirely, so later non-PascalCase segments go unreported: and with allowNamespace on, only the first segment is validated, letting <Foo.Bad_Name /> slip through.

Constraints:
- 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.
- Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly.
- Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code.

Assessment:
- Record detector evidence, applicability facts, assumptions, missing evidence, and the rule class for this occurrence.
- Return one outcome: Confirmed failure, Rejected, Needs evidence, Unavailable, Waived with evidence, or Observation.
- A waiver records the established failure, scope, authority, evidence, and review or expiry condition. It is not a pass or false positive.

Verification:
- Run focused tests for the changed behavior.
- Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears from changed code.
- Run an unfiltered scan of the affected scope before claiming no cross-category regression.
- Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.
