The babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types package is a helpful tool designed to optimize your production React builds by removing unnecessary propTypes. As propTypes are primarily used during development to perform type checking on properties, they are generally unnecessary in a production environment. By removing these propTypes, this utility can help reduce the size of your React application and save on bandwidth, leading to faster load times and improved user experience.
