Does anyone have an example of using the kotlin-react library with existing Javascript React components? I’m completely baffled as to how to instantiate a JS react component from Kotlin, since the `child` method takes a KClass or reified type parameter of the child component to construct, neither of which is available for extern interfaces 

<@U7Z83QTL6> should be able to answer that

You should declare your import as
```
@JsModule("react-something")
external val ReactSomething: RClass&lt;dynamic&gt;
```

then you'll be able to call it directly in your builder like you do with `div` and other builtins
```
fun RBuilder.foo {
  ReactSomething {
    // not typesafe yet
    attrs.foo = "bar"

    +"child text"
  }
}
```

Then you can add some typesafety by replacing `dynamic` with props spec:

```
external interface ReactSomethingProps {
  // should be var not val, as we will assign it
  var foo: String
}

@JsModule("react-something")
external val ReactSomething: RClass&lt;ReactSomethingProps&gt;
```
