const isFunction = s => typeof s === "function";
function createElement(tag, props, ...children) {
// If first argument is function, we know it is custom component,
// So call it as a function, passing the props with children as a property.
// Using spread like this will work when props is `null` also
if (isFunction(tag)) {
return tag({ ...props, children });
}
// Same as before
const el = attrs(document.createElement(tag), props);
children.forEach(child => {
const node = !isString(child) ? child : document.createTextNode(child);
el.appendChild(node);
});
return el;
