A Clean Way to Conditionally Render Components

Today, I want to share a clean way to conditionally render child components while using React. It's very simple.

Live Demo:

Before

function App(){
  // ...
  return <div>
      {someCondition?
      <SomeChildA>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
      </SomeChildA>
      : 
      <SomeChildB>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
        <div>Some Contents</div>
      </SomeChildB>}
    </div>
}

After

function App(){
  // ...
  return <div>
      <If condition={someCondition}>
        <SomeChildA>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
        </SomeChildA>
      </If>
      <If condition={!someCondition}>
        <SomeChildB>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
          <If condition={someOtherCondition}>
            <NestExample/>
          </If>
          <div>Some Contents</div>
        </SomeChildB>
      </If>
    </div>
}

<If/> Component

function If(props) {
    return props.condition ? <>{props.children}</> : null;
}

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
