React/JSX dynamic component names

Question

I am looking to render a component based upon a string. Essentially, I am hoping to find the JSX equivalent to JavaScript's dynamic function name ability ( parent["childMethod"] ).

So, if I have a string, such as "<MyComponent />" , how can I turn into JSX and render?

JSX is just a nice syntax for function calls, so you need to have the actual functions to use a component. If you have an object that contains React components then you can render a component based on a string property. For example if you have an object called MyComponents (has to be uppercase for JSX) and that object has React components like MyComponents.SomeInput = React.CreateClass(...) . Then you can use <MyComponents.SomeInput /> in your JSX.
