Understanding ComponentType
ComponentType is a React TypeScript utility that represents any valid React component:
type ComponentType<P = {}> = ComponentClass<P> | FunctionComponent<P>;It’s the foundation for:
- Writing functions that accept any component type
- Building HOCs that work with function and class components
- Creating polymorphic component patterns
- Type-safe component composition
Both guides above extensively use ComponentType in their examples and patterns.
