Passing in Signer through React Props

[shaunkh]

Does anyone know if it's safe to pass in the Signer to another component through props in React?

All objects in Ethers.js are intended to be immutable, the reason for this is to be able to pass the object reference around the code and the object stays the same, i.e. it is not modified by any other code (modification will create a new object e.g. wallet.connect(provider) returns a new wallet object). In short, I don't see a reason why it'd be unsafe to pass a signer to a react component (given you know the code). If there is something more specific feel free to mention it.
