Understanding the Problem

If you're encountering the error "Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Promise])" while trying to conditionally import components in React, you're not alone. This typically occurs when you attempt to use dynamic imports incorrectly, leading to unexpected results.

In the context of your situation, you may want to load different components based on a certain condition (like show_deprecated_guide). However, importing modules dynamically brings its own set of challenges due to the asynchronous nature of the import statement, which returns a Promise.

Example Scenario

Let's consider your original attempt:

This code snippet fails because it tries to return a promise directly from a functional component, resulting in React not being able to render the promise as a valid child.



The Solution

Instead of using dynamic imports directly in your component, a more effective approach is to import both components statically and render them conditionally based on the show_deprecated_guide variable.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Import Both Components

Start by importing both the main and deprecated guide components at the beginning of your file. This will allow you to leverage React's conditional rendering without complications.

2. Create Conditional Logic in Your Render

Next, incorporate the condition within your render method. Here's how you could structure your WelcomeList component:

3. Render the Component

By implementing the above changes, your WelcomeList component now conditionally renders either the Guide or DeprecatedGuide based on the show_deprecated_guide prop. This avoids issues with promises and keeps your code clean and efficient.



Conclusion

Using static imports combined with conditional rendering is a reliable method in React to manage component loading based on conditions. It avoids the errors associated with promises and keeps your component rendering straightforward.

By following this approach, you'll ensure that your application runs smoothly without running into problems when trying to dynamically import modules. Now, you can focus on building more features instead of debugging import issues!
