How to Dynamically Get a JSX Element from a TypeScript Object in React

If you are working with React and TypeScript, you might have encountered challenges when trying to render dynamic components based on the state. A common scenario involves having a TypeScript object from which you want to extract and return a JSX element according to different states. This post will guide you through solving the problem of dynamically rendering components from a TypeScript object with step-by-step instructions.

The Problem

Let's imagine you have a TypeScript object called StateIcon, which maps different state strings to corresponding icons. Here’s what your object looks like:

The Need for Dynamic Rendering

You want to create a function called getIcon that takes a state as an input and returns the respective icon as a JSX element. However, when you try to dynamically access the icon using:

you run into an error that states, JSX element type 'StateIcon' does not have any construct or call signatures. This error occurs because the way you're trying to access the icon doesn't comply with TypeScript’s expectations.

The Solution

To solve this, you need to ensure that the dynamically selected component is properly handled. Here’s how to refactor your getIcon function.

Step 1: Define the Dynamic Component

Instead of directly trying to access the JSX components from the StateIcon object, you can store the selected icon in a variable first. Here's how you can do that:

Step 2: Handle Type Safety

You might still run into a type issue about indexing with a string. To avoid that, you can ensure that your states map directly to valid keys of the StateIcon object, like so:

By parameterizing state with keyof typeof StateIcon, you are ensuring that it can only accept the keys of StateIcon, thus improving type safety.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can dynamically render JSX elements from a TypeScript object in your React components without encountering type errors. This allows for a cleaner and more maintainable codebase, as you retain the flexibility to handle various states dynamically.

Remember, the key takeaway is to correctly access the components while adhering to TypeScript's type system. This approach will simplify your rendering logic significantly while keeping your code robust and type-safe.

Now you can easily use the getIcon function across your React components with confidence in TypeScript's type-checking!
