Simplify condition rendering in React.js

As a professional developer you are forced to stay up to date with the latest trends in technology. This year I've added Svelte to my bucket list as a new framework to learn.
While researching Svelte I was surprised by the way they handle condition rendering.
Take a look at this example found in their docs:

    {#if user.loggedIn}      <button on:click={toggle}>        Log out      </button>    {/if}

Everything is neatly wrapped with if clause and separated from normal flow.

After a quick prototyping I present to you the most powerful component I have ever written, an IF component.

   const IF = ({ condition, children }) => {     if (!condition) return null;     return <>{children}</>;   };

By offloading condition into a separate component this will improve code cleanness and readability by quite a margin (for free).

Lets imagine the Svelte example in our React app. It would go something like this:

return (    <>      {user.loggedIn && <button>Log out</button>}    </>  );...

This is not an end of the world issue when you have just one condition but as our apps grow, so do the conditions.

Take a look at the same component now refactored to use IF:

return (    <IF condition={user.loggedIn}>      <button>Log out</button>    </IF>  );...

Now its easier to track down conditions and debug faulty ones, plus the code looks way cleaner now that conditions are gone from JSX.

Hope you found this helpful
