Spreading multiple props with the same property in JSX

Given two props objects:

const p1 = {
  id: "p1"
  //...
}

const p2 = {
  id: "p2"
  //...
}

If spreading them both on the same component, like:

<MyComponent {...p1} {...p2}/>

How React is to determine what property value id to use?

May also consider other cases like

<MyComponent {...p1} id={"p3"} {...p2}/>
<MyComponent id={"p3"} {...p1} {...p2}/>

Basically, whats the rule behind to tell which property value is the value it uses?

In the order they appear, left to right. It'll walk through the first spread, assigning props, then through the second, overwriting any duplicates.

Demonstration:

const Printout = (props: { x: number; y: number; z: number }) => {
  useEffect(() => console.log(props), [props]);
  return null;
};

const Demo = () => {
  const a = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 };
  const b = { y: 5, x: 6 };
  return <Printout {...a} z={4} {...b} />;
};

Console output:

{"x": 6, "y": 5, "z": 4}

The order that keys are obtained from an object is a different question. See Does JavaScript guarantee object property order? for example.
