Question

I am trying to render a json list with html tags in the string in a list as follows jsbin. It works in Jsbin. But in my console I got warning below:

warning          


        

Answer 1

Add inline comment on top of dangerouslySetInnerHTML and inside div element if you use ESLint

<div
   // eslint-disable-next-line react/no-danger
   dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }}
/>

Answer 2

Remove the enclosing tag of your div element in your component so that it looks like the following code:

<li key={i}>
    <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
      __html: item.text
     }} />
</li>

According to this, it should remove the warning.

Answer 3

React is complaining about the use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML in conjunction with safe react children, that happened when you let the div tag opened to such characteristic <div>open and ready for children</div>.

Since you are using the JSX syntax extension, the solution here is write the whole sentence in a single line:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: item.text}}></div>

or just using a singleton div tag:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
       __html: item.text
     }}/>

By the way you are not getting the error on jsbin because it is a react production build, this build is not meant to tell you what could be written better.
