Description

https://reactjs.org/docs/typechecking-with-proptypes.html

When importing the proptypes library, eslint warns you that you should be using the camelCase format of propTypes and not use PascalCase PropTypes.

Other pages that may need updating:
https://reactjs.org/docs/static-type-checking.html
https://reactjs.org/docs/legacy-context.html#how-to-use-context

Research direction

Start with the type-checking with PropTypes documentation page, then review the linked static type-checking and legacy context pages for the same examples. Update the import and usage examples to use camelCase propTypes rather than PascalCase PropTypes, and confirm the documentation examples no longer trigger the reported ESLint warning.
