在React中基于状态/属性渲染组件

Question

I've been learning React and I was wondering how would I be able to render classes/components based on the state?

I was thinking perhaps putting something like:

var currentState = this.state.title;
< currentState />

but that doesn't seem to work.

I can do it using if statements or case/switch but that doesn't seem to be particularly flexible.

Here is what I'm working with currently:

var Proj1 = React.createClass({
    render: function(){
        return (
            <h1>Number one</h1>
        )   
    }
});

var Proj2 = React.createClass({
    render: function(){
        return (
            <h1>Number two</h1>
        )   
    }
});

var ContentContainer = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function(){
        return {
            title: 'Proj1'
        }
    },
    render: function(){
        return (
            ///// Proj1?
        )
    }
});

React.render(
    <ContentContainer/>, document.getElementById('container')
 );

Essentially I'd like to render the appropriate class based on the current name of the state. For example if the state.title = Proj1, i'd like to render Proj1, alternatively if the state.title = Proj2, i'd like to render Proj2.

Please and thanks

I want to add a comment on top of Tyler McGinnis but unfortunately I don't have enough reputation to do that :). I think the edited answer 'worked' but still we need a map between title and the class. A way to do is to store these React Classes to an accessible object, like

Components = {};
Components.Proj1 = React.createClass({...}};
Components.Proj2 = React.createClass({...}};
...
ContentContainer = React.createClass({
    return (
        var Proj = Components[this.state.title];
        <Proj/>
});

I think that's still a bit hack-ish, and I don't have a better answer.

I think most of the time, React component states are used to control certain html/css properties, your use case is more like using object factory to create/get different type of objects, in which using if statement doesn't seem to bad.

There are multiple ways you can do this. All basically are just if statements though. I'd probably go with something like this and use a ternary operator, that's usually the most common practice.

var ContentContainer = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function(){
        return {
            title: 'Proj1'
        }
    },
    render: function(){
        return this.state.title === 'Proj1' ? <Proj1 /> : </Proj2>;
    }
});

edit: I think you're wanting to know how to set components to variables. In this example,

var currentState = this.state.title;
< currentState />

if we assume this.state.title was a component (which it's not), then you would just need to capitalize currentState.

For example.

getInitialState(){
  return {
    proj1: Proj1 //Proj1 is a React Component.
  }
}
render(){
  var Proj1 = this.state.proj1; //you just need to capitalize the variable name.
  return <Proj1 />
}
