Map children of React element after the child has rendered
I'm using react-markdown which expects a string for its child.
<ReactMarkdown>my string</ReactMarkdown>
This will transform my string into <p>my string</p>.
Now I want to do some transformation of the child of the p element, which is to recursively check if the child of the current node is a string, and if so, run a regex to replace certain patterns with an React component.
If I run
let md = <ReactMarkdown>my string</ReactMarkdown>;
return React.cloneElement(md, {
children: React.Children.map(md.props.children, child => <MyWrapper>{child}</MyWrapper>)
});
it applies <MyWrapper> to my string rather than to <p>my string</p>. Since <ReactMarkdown> expects a string child, it throws an error.
How can I wrap the children of the rendered child elements rather than the pre-rendered children?

Since the library only accepts a string which they then break down, you can't provide your own component. You can pass on a css class to control it. If you want to transform the text, you can do it before providing the string toReactMarkdown. Are you trying to achieve something else?

I'm trying to replace the pattern/:someStr:/gwith a<CustomElement />in the entire tree produced by<ReactMarkdown>. I search recursively through the children of the element to find text nodes, and then apply the regex replacement to it.

Do you control the component that rendersReactMarkdown? If so, you can wrap it with your own component that will transform the text before passing it on.
