Error: Objects are not valid as a React child in ReactJs

Dung Do Tien May 15 2022 477

I have a small app to help manage the books store. I use Reactjs to help raw a list of books. Like this:

 import * as React from "react";

export default function App() {
  const lstBooos = [{ 0: "pro reactjs", 1: "Rose", 2: 5000 }, { 0: "pro javascript", 1: "Rose 2", 2: 7000 }]; // list data will get from API
  
  const render = lstBooos.map((item) => {
    return <p> {item}</p>;
  });

  return <div>{render}</div>;
} 

When running the project I got an exception Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {0, 1, 2}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

Error: Objects are not valid as a React child in ReactJs

Anyone can help me explain this error?

Thanks in advance.

    I think you have a format problem with your list data. You need to remember that you can not use objects in JSX.  I suggest you 2 solutions:

    Solution 1: use format ["data1", "data2"] instead of {0: "data1", 1: "data2"}

     import React from 'react';
    export function App(props) {
    const lstBooos = [["pro reactjs", "Rose", 5000], ["pro javascript", "Rose 2", 7000]];
      const render = lstBooos.map((item) => {
        return <p> {item}</p>;
      });
    
      return (
        <h1>{render}</h1>
      );
    }

    Solution 2: use format {key: value, key: value} instead of {0: "data1", 1: "data2"}

     import React from 'react';
    export function App(props) {
    const lstBooos = [{Name:"pro reactjs", Author: "Rose", Price: 5000}, {Name: "pro javascript", Author: "Rose 2", Price:7000}];
      const render = lstBooos.map((item) => {
        return <p> {item.Name}, {item.Author}, {item.Price}</p>;
      });
    
      return (
        <h1>{render}</h1>
      );
    }

    I prefer solution 2 more.
