Reactjs convert html string to jsx

By default, React escapes the HTML to prevent XSS (Cross-site scripting). If you really want to render HTML, you can use the dangerouslySetInnerHTML property:

<td dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: this.state.actions}} />

React forces this intentionally-cumbersome syntax so that you don't accidentally render text as HTML and introduce XSS bugs.

There are now safer methods to accomplish this. The docs have been updated with these methods.

Other Methods

1. Easiest - Use Unicode, save the file as UTF-8 and set the charset to UTF-8.

   <div>{'First · Second'}</div>

2. Safer - Use the Unicode number for the entity inside a Javascript string.

   <div>{'First \u00b7 Second'}</div>

   or

   <div>{'First ' + String.fromCharCode(183) + ' Second'}</div>

3. Or a mixed array with strings and JSX elements.

   <div>{['First ', <span>&middot;</span>, ' Second']}</div>

4. Last Resort - Insert raw HTML using dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

   <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: 'First &middot; Second'}} />
