How to concatenate JSX components in React Native

Question

For example, I wanna show a list of names. So I wanted to do something like this:

var returnValue; for (eachName of _names) {   returnValue += (   <TouchableHighlight     onPress={() => this._onPressButton}>       <Text>       {eachName}       </Text>   </TouchableHighlight>); } return returnValue; 

However, that is not valid. Which brings me to my question: How do I concatenate a dynamic amount of JSX components in React Native.

Answer 1

Figures I figure it out soon as I ask stackoverflow. The code needs to be put into an array:

var returnValue = []; for (var i = 0; i < _names.length; i++) {    returnValue.push(   <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this._onPressButton}>       <Text>       {_names[i]}       </Text>   </TouchableHighlight>); } return returnValue;

Answer 2

Maybe a more elegant way:

return <View> {_names.map((eachName) => {   return (     <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this._onPressButton}>       <Text>       {eachName}       </Text>     </TouchableHighlight>   ); })} </View>
