Is there a way i can add html code in .map function in react?

Question

I am new to react and using .map() to list some items with a
tag appended to it. The issue that I am facing is when i append a
tag it doesn't do a line break. It just shows
next to every store. Below is my code i am using. Any help would be really appreicated.

   return <div> {stores.map((store) => store + "<br>")} </div>

Because it's just a string, not an element. Try e.g. <>{store}<br/></>, otherwise you have to "dangerously set inner HTML". — jonrsharpe

No, you can't (shouldn't) add html. However, you can return jsx elements from the map callback. — Bergi

Of course you can. But you should wrap them inside one tag e.g. <div> or <>.

return (<div>
         {stores.map((store) => (
             <>{store}<br></> // You can also use `<div>{store}</div>` since `div` is achieving the br effect.
         ))}
       </div>)

Wrapping them in <div>s will not achieve the effect that <br> is supposed to achieve. Also I guess in JSX you'll have to write <br />?
