createElement set HTML tag conditionally React JS

Question

Consider this:

const Component = React.createElement(props.type ? "p" : "div", {
    className: "fff"
})

How do I set HTML tag conditionally (one line)?

Or, if its possible, right inside JSX (something like that):

<props.type ? "p" : "div" />

If you're using jsx then I would just recommend doing it in your component.

const Component = (props) => {
  const content = // whatever content you want

  return props.type ? (
    <p>
      {content}
    </p>
  ) : (
    <div>
      {content}
    </div>
  );
};

This will conditionally return what you want, you can do all sorts of stuff with this kind of syntax and at this level.

Or if it's not a specific component and just in code, the same thing applies.

{props.type ? (
  // code for <p>
) : (
  // code for <div>
)

If you have common content, just store that in a const somewhere, and insert it between the tags.
