Map children of React element after the child has rendered












0















I'm using react-markdown which expects a string for its child.



<ReactMarkdown>my string</ReactMarkdown>


This will transform my string into <p>my string</p>.



Now I want to do some transformation of the child of the p element, which is to recursively check if the child of the current node is a string, and if so, run a regex to replace certain patterns with an React component.



If I run



let md = <ReactMarkdown>my string</ReactMarkdown>;
return React.cloneElement(md, {
children: React.Children.map(md.props.children, child => <MyWrapper>{child}</MyWrapper>)
});


it applies <MyWrapper> to my string rather than to <p>my string</p>. Since <ReactMarkdown> expects a string child, it throws an error.



How can I wrap the children of the rendered child elements rather than the pre-rendered children?

  • Since the library only accepts a string which they then break down, you can't provide your own component. You can pass on a css class to control it. If you want to transform the text, you can do it before providing the string to ReactMarkdown. Are you trying to achieve something else?

  • I'm trying to replace the pattern /:someStr:/g with a <CustomElement /> in the entire tree produced by <ReactMarkdown>. I search recursively through the children of the element to find text nodes, and then apply the regex replacement to it.
