TypeScript React SFC children props type error
I have the following stateless functional component defined:
import { SFC } from "react";
type ProfileTabContentProps = {
selected: boolean;
};
const ProfileTabContent: SFC<ProfileTabContentProps> = ({ selected, children }) => selected && children;
This fails to compile with the following error:
Type '({ selected, children }: ProfileTabContentProps & { children?: ReactNode; }) => ReactNode' is not assignable to type 'StatelessComponent'.
Type 'ReactNode' is not assignable to type 'ReactElement | null'.
Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'ReactElement | null'.
A quick search for related questions all give the same answer, which is very similar to what I've done. What am I missing?

Your problem is that selected && children evaluates to React.ReactNode, which if you check the typings, is a union type:
type ReactNode = ReactChild | ReactFragment | ReactPortal | boolean | null | undefined;
However, a React.SFC must return a ReactElement, it's definition for the function definition is:
(props: P & { children?: ReactNode }, context?: any): ReactElement<any> | null;
I think you've seen the [truthy] && [render me] pattern used a lot, but usually inside of a larger TSX component, where a React.ReactNode is allowed
You could do this if you want to keep it simple:
const ProfileTabContent: SFC<ProfileTabContentProps> = ({ selected, children }) =>
<>{selected && children}</>
Which just wraps up your expression inside the shorthand for a React.ReactFragment
