React PropType element of type

Question

From the official ReactJS docs page we can use React.PropTypes.element to validate a single child.

With React.PropTypes.element you can specify that only a single child can be passed to a component as children.

Question

Is there something like that which also validates the child type?

Expectation

React.PropTypes.elementOfType('svg').isRequired

Have you looked into creating a custom propType validation method? It sounds like that might be what you are looking for: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/reusable-components.html#prop-validation
