Check type of React component

This is what you should do:

import MyComponent from './MyComponent';

this.props.children.forEach(child => {
    if (child.type === MyComponent) {
        console.log('This child is <MyComponent />');
    }
});

As pointed out by Konstantin Smolyanin, the accepted answer might not play nicely with react-hot-loader.

A safer alternative, suggested here:

import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
const myComponentType = (<MyComponent />).type;

this.props.children.forEach(child => {
    if (child.type === myComponentType ) {
        console.log('This child is <MyComponent />');
    }
});

Other solution:

import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
// const myComponentType = (<MyComponent />).type;
// It's the same than
const myComponentType = React.createElement(MyComponent).type;

this.props.children.forEach(child => {
    if (child.type === myComponentType) {
        console.log('This child is <MyComponent />');
    }
});
