Unable to render html tags that were returned by the server dynamically

May 29, 2022

In my React project, I make an API call to the server which returns some HTML that I have to render. Below is the API call result:

So this unit_configuration_label field does not properly render. The styling that I applied to that b-tag does not apply. I guess its because the page renders first before I get the results from the server, and then when we get it, it just appends this result as a string, this is what I get on render:

And I need to append that HTML inside this span-tag

      <div className="room-types">
        <span>{hotel.unit_configuration_label}</span>
      </div>

>Solution :

use "dangerouslySetInnerHTML":

  const data = "Twin Room with Bath </br><b>Hotel room</b>:2 beds";
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Hello CodeSandbox</h1>
      <h2>Start editing to see some magic happen!</h2>
      <div
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: data}}
    />
    </div>
  );
