TypeScript and React: Pass component in props and return it from a function

Question

I'm writing a Form component with React and TypeScript. I use Formik for the form logic. I want to pass the <Form /> component a specific form as a prop and render it. Here is what I tried:

import { Formik, FormikProps } from "formik";
import React, { PureComponent, ReactNode } from "react";

export interface Props {
  component: ReactNode; // TODO: Change to one of LoginForm or RegisterForm.
  handleSubmit(): void;
}

export class Form extends PureComponent<Props> {
  renderForm = (formikProps: FormikProps<any>): ReactNode => {
    const { component: FormComponent } = this.props;
    return <FormComponent {...formikProps} />;
  };

  render() {
    const { handleSubmit } = this.props;
    return <Formik render={this.renderForm} />;
  }
}

export default Form;

The problem is that the line where I return the <FormComponent /> throws the error:

[ts] JSX element type 'FormComponent' does not have any construct or call signatures.

renderForm has to return a ReactNode, so I can't change ReactNode to ComponentType (the latter would resolve the JSX error).

How would one do this in TypeScript?

Edit So I got it working by doing this (thanks to estus):

import { Formik, FormikProps } from "formik";
import React, { PureComponent, ReactElement } from "react";

export interface Props {
  component: React.ComponentType<any>; // TODO: Change to one of LoginForm or RegisterForm.
  handleSubmit(): void;
}

export class Form extends PureComponent<Props> {
  renderForm = (formikProps: FormikProps<any>): ReactElement<any> => {
    const { component: FormComponent } = this.props;
    return <FormComponent {...formikProps} />;
  };

  render() {
    const { handleSubmit } = this.props;
    return <Formik render={this.renderForm} />;
  }
}

export default Form;

ReactNode is React element type, while component prop is expected to be React component.

It likely should be:

export interface Props {
  component: React.ComponentType;
  handleSubmit(): void;
}

renderForm has to return a ReactNode, so I can't change ReactNode to ComponentType (the latter would resolve the JSX error).

component prop and renderForm return type aren't connected. The former is a component and the latter is an element.
