Description

I am just learning react, and i wonder what is the difference below when the Component is just a stateless Component?

function Component({isLoading, children}) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return <div>{children}</div>
    }
    return "nothing"
}

<Component isLoading={true} children="children" />
vs
Component({isLoading: true, children: "children"})
