+### React JSX Tip: Generic components
+There's no syntax in JSX to apply generic parameters to a generic component; a type and constructor must first be created in Typescript proper.  Example:
+
+```ts
+/** A generic component */
+type SelectProps<T> = { items: T[] }
+class Select<T> extends React.Component<SelectProps<T>, any> { }
+
+/** Specialize Select to use with strings */
+interface IStringSelect { new (): Select<string> } ;
+/** Constructor function - must be capitalized for JSX
+const StringSelect = Select as IStringSelect;
+
+/** Usage */
+const Form = ()=> <StringSelect items={['a','b']} />;
+```
