React – Dynamically Import Components

by

I think there may have been some confusion as to what I was trying to achieve. I managed to solve the issue I was having and have shown my code below which shows how I solved it.

Separate File (ComponentIndex.js):

    let Components = {};

    Components['Component1'] = require('./Component1').default;
    Components['Component2'] = require('./Component2').default;
    Components['Component3'] = require('./Component3').default;

    export default Components

Main File (Main.js):

    import React, { Component } from 'react';
    import Components from './ComponentIndex';

    class Main extends Component {
        render () {
            var type="Component1"; // example variable - will change from user input
            const ComponentToRender = Components[type];
            return <ComponentToRender/>
        }
    }

    export default Main

This method allows me to add/remove components very quickly as the imports are in one file and only requires changing one line at a time.
