How to detect a React component vs. a React element?

Question

React.isValidElement tests true for both React components as well as React elements. How would I test, specifically, that an object is a React component? Curren

This is an old question, with an old answer.

If you run into this issue, probably you'll want to check the react-is NPM package page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-is

It's an official React module that takes into account details like ref forwarding, and memo to check for an element type.

To check if a value is an element type do: ReactIs.isValidElementType(obj)
