Create a Styled-Components React Factory for Dynamic HTML Elements

When building a React application, you might come across situations where you need a component that can handle multiple HTML elements, all while maintaining the same properties and logic. In this post, we’ll explore how to create a factory component that utilizes styled-components to render different HTML elements dynamically, and we’ll troubleshoot common issues you may encounter along the way.

The Problem

Imagine you want to create a single reusable component that can render as either a div, header, or main element based on the props you pass to it. While attempting to build this, you might run into an error related to handling children props correctly with styled-components.

Here's the original error message you may see:

Fortunately, there’s a straightforward way to resolve this issue while ensuring your factory component works seamlessly. Let’s dive into the solution!

The Solution

Step 1: Define the Props Interface

First, you need to create a TypeScript interface that defines the properties your GridFactory component will accept. This includes the htmlElement prop and also ensures that children can be passed as props.

Step 2: Create Styled Components

Now, we will define our styled components. Interestingly, since styled-components returns a component type rather than a React element, we’ll take advantage of TypeScript’s ability to define stateless functional components.

Define the Header styled component like this:

Step 3: Build the Factory Component

Next, we will construct the GridFactory that utilizes the htmlElement prop to conditionally render the correct styled component. It’s important to note that we’ll define GridFactory as a stateless functional component (React.SFC) to leverage built-in children types.

Here’s how the complete solution looks:

Step 4: Use the GridFactory Component

Finally, you can use the GridFactory component in your application like so:

Conclusion

Creating a factory component to handle multiple HTML types in React using styled-components is not only a powerful solution but can also enhance the reusability of your code. By defining props correctly and addressing the children prop requirements, you can easily switch between types with minimal hassle.

Feel free to expand on this foundation by adding additional HTML elements or styles according to your project's needs. Happy coding!
