When creating an interface, what does it mean to use children: React.ReactNode?

Question

I've used this a couple of times when creating a component in React using Typescript, but still not 100% certain what it means to specify 'children: React.ReactNode'. Looking for an explanation please.

Maybe related to [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53688899/typescript-and-react-children-type)? There is also a good answer. — devserkan, Nov 04 '19 at 08:34
You are welcome. I'm not familiar with TypeScript but there is a good explanation of why you use `React.ReactNode` as type since it is defined as it may include `React.Child`. — devserkan, Nov 04 '19 at 08:41

You are expecting the component to return React children components. (Seems pretty obvious now I know the answer)
