I ran into this problem a lot when attempting to use SVG with react   I ended up using quite a dirty fix  but it s useful to know this option existed  Below I allow the use of the vector-effect attribute on SVG elements   import SVGDOMPropertyConfig from  react lib SVGDOMPropertyConfig js   import DOMProperty from  react lib DOMProperty js    SVGDOMPropertyConfig Properties vectorEffect   DOMProperty injection MUST USE ATTRIBUTE  SVGDOMPropertyConfig DOMAttributeNames vectorEffect    vector-effect     As long as this is included imported before you start using react  it should work

EDIT  Updated to reflect React 16  Custom attributes are supported natively in React 16  This means that adding a custom attribute to an element is now as simple as adding it to a render function  like so   render       return        lt div custom-attribute  some-value    gt           For more  https   reactjs org blog 2017 09 26 react-v16 0 html support-for-custom-dom-attributes https   facebook github io react blog 2017 09 08 dom-attributes-in-react-16 html    Previous answer  React 15 and earlier   Custom attributes are currently not supported  See this open issue for more info   https   github com facebook react issues 140  As a workaround  you can do something like this in componentDidMount   componentDidMount  function       var element   ReactDOM findDOMNode this refs test     element setAttribute  custom-attribute    some value        See https   jsfiddle net peterjmag kysymow0  for a working example   Inspired by syranide s suggestion in this comment

Depending on what exactly is preventing you from doing this  there s another option that requires no changes to your current implementation  You should be able to augment React in your project with a  ts or  d ts file  not sure which  at project root  It would look something like this   declare module  react        interface HTMLAttributes lt T gt  extends React DOMAttributes lt T gt             custom-attribute    string     or  some-value     another-value            Another possibility is the following   declare namespace JSX       interface IntrinsicElements            elemName  string   any            See JSX   Type Checking  You might even have to wrap that in a declare global    I haven t landed on a final solution yet   See also  How do I add attributes to existing HTML elements in TypeScript JSX

Depending on what version of React you are using  you may need to use something like this  I know Facebook is thinking about deprecating string refs in the somewhat near future   var Hello   React createClass       componentDidMount  function             ReactDOM findDOMNode this test  setAttribute  custom-attribute    some value               render  function             return  lt div gt               lt span ref   ref    gt  this test   ref  gt Element with a custom attribute lt  span gt           lt  div gt              React render  lt Hello   gt   document getElementById  container       Facebook s ref documentation
