+# Forbid certain elements (forbid-elements)
+
+You may want to forbid usage of certain elements in favor of others, (e.g. forbid all `<div />` and use `<Box />` instead). This rule allows you to configure a list of forbidden elements and to specify their desired replacements.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule checks all JSX elements and `React.createElement` calls and verifies that no forbidden elements are used. This rule is off by default. If on, no elements are forbidden by default.
+
+## Rule Options
+
+```js
+...
+"forbid-elements": [<enabled>, { "forbid": [<string|object>] }]
+...
+```
+
+### `forbid`
+
+An array of strings and/or objects. An object in this array may have the following properties: 
+
+* `element` (required): the name of the forbidden element (e.g. `'button'`, `'Modal'`)
+* `message`: additional message that gets reported
+
+A string item in the array is a shorthand for `{ element: string }`. 
+
+The following patterns are not considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+// [1, { "forbid": ["button"] }]
+<Button />
+
+// [1, { "forbid": [{ "element": "button" }] }]
+<Button />
+```
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+// [1, { "forbid": ["button"] }]
+<button />
+React.createElement('button');
+
+// [1, { "forbid": ["Modal"] }]
+<Modal />
+React.createElement(Modal);
+
+// [1, { "forbid": ["Namespaced.Element"] }]
+<Namespaced.Element />
+React.createElement(Namespaced.Element);
+
+// [1, { "forbid": [{ "element": "button", "message": "use <Button> instead" }, "input"] }]
+<div><button /><input /></div>
+React.createElement('div', {}, React.createElemet('button', {}, React.createElement('input')));
+```
+
+## When not to use
+
+If you don't want to forbid any elements.
