How to render a react element using an html string? [duplicate]

Question

var Klass = React.createClass({
  this.props.html_string = '<button>BUTTON_TEXT</button>';
  render: function(){
    return (
      <div className="wrapper">
        {this.props.html_string}
      </div>
    );
  }
});

Currently {this.props.html_string} gives me a text node. How can I make this a HTML DOM node?

Answer 1

What you want is dangerouslySetInnerHTML

function createMarkup() { return {__html: 'First · Second'}; };
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={createMarkup()} />

Edit: you'll want to htmlencode the string.
