💻 Code

function TestKey(params: { key: string }): any {}

const paramsKey = { key: 'param' };

console.log(<TestKey key="foo" {...paramsKey} />);
console.log(<TestKey {...paramsKey} key="foo" />);

🙁 Actual behavior

Compiled into:

import { createElement as _createElement } from "react";
import { jsx as _jsx } from "react/jsx-runtime";
function TestKey(params) { }
const paramsKey = { key: 'param' };
console.log(_jsx(TestKey, Object.assign({}, paramsKey), "foo"));
console.log(_createElement(TestKey, Object.assign({}, paramsKey, { key: "foo" }))); // what?

🙂 Expected behavior

Compiled into:

import { jsx as _jsx } from "react/jsx-runtime";
function TestKey(params) { }
const paramsKey = { key: 'param' };
console.log(_jsx(TestKey, Object.assign({}, paramsKey), "foo"));
console.log(_jsx(TestKey, Object.assign({}, paramsKey), "foo"));

Babel does the exact same thing. This is expected and explained in detail in facebook/react#20031 (comment). The reasoning is all very React specific, so if you're using react-jsx with something that's not React, you might want to avoid key-after-spread.
