How to render HTML Template as response from json in react js

Question

My api response is

{
"content" : "<div><p>Some random text</p></div>"
}

I am passing the html template as value in json response content. In my application then I am trying to render the content but the output is

My output : <div><p>Some random text</p></div>

Actual output should be : Some random text

Can anyone guide what I am missing out ?

You can also checkout dangerouslySetInnerHTML to set innerHTML for HTML you get as string in response.

...
return (
  ...
  <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: data.content }} />
  ...
)
...

This solves the issue but the developer should be aware of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and therefore only use this in case the source of the data is trusted like something managed by app administrators.

In order to converts raw HTML to a React DOM structure you need a library: html-to-react
