Typed React children with TypeScript

This repository is a basic example which shows you how you can type your children in React components.

It shows you how you can enforce:

• to use only a string as children.
• to not allow children at all.
• to allow just one JSX.Element as children.
• to use at least two JSX.Elements as children.
• to use a function with a certain signature as children.

Of course you can mix these types as you which thanks to union types. So it possible to allow one or more JSX.Elements by using something like children: JSX.Element | JSX.Element[];.

To check the example run:

$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ npm run serve
# Visit localhost:8080.

Known limitations

It looks like it is not possible to say that a <ButtonGroup/> can only have <Button/>'s as children. See this comment.
