This is what I have ended up with in one of my recent projects:
import React, {Component, PropTypes} from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
class ReactComment extends Component {
static propTypes = {
text: PropTypes.string,
trim: PropTypes.bool
};
static defaultProps = {
trim: true
};
componentDidMount() {
let el = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this);
ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(el);
el.outerHTML = this.createComment();
}
createComment() {
let text = this.props.text;
if (this.props.trim) {
text = text.trim();
}
return `<!-- ${text} -->`;
}
render() {
return <div />;
}
}
export default ReactComment;
So you can use it like this:
<A>
<B></B>
<ReactComment text="<fragment>" />
<C></C>
<D></D>
<ReactComment text="</fragment>" />
<E></E>
</A>
