Menu
I am trying to render an html page in react. I have tried multiple solutions but still, I am getting an error. Yes I know there are many questions similar to this one but none of those solutions has worked for me. I am using reactjs as front-end and simply trying to show a static html page.
html file is below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ably WebRTC Video call Demo</title>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"
/>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://cdn.temasys.io/adapterjs/0.15.x/adapter.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.temasys.io/adapterjs/0.15.x/adapter.screenshare.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.ably.io/lib/ably.min-1.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/simple-peer/9.1.2/simplepeer.min.js"></script>
<script src="ably-screenshare.js"></script>
<script src="connection-helper.js"></script>
<div class="container-fluid" style="margin-top: 5em;">
<div class="container" id="join">
<h4 id="online">Users online (0)</h4>
<ul id="memberList"></ul>
</div>
<div class="container" id="call" style="display:none;">
<video width="320" height="240" id="local" controls></video>
<video width="320" height="240" id="remote" controls></video>
<button class="btn btn-xs btn-danger" onclick="handleEndCall()">
End call
</button>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<style>
small {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
}
li {
list-style: none;
}
</style>
</html>
and the solution that I tried is
import React, { Component } from "react";
var __html = require("./screen.html");
var template = { __html: __html };
class ScreenShare extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="screen-share">
<span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={template} />
</div>
);
}
}
export default ScreenShare;
Even using the above solution, I am getting this error
./src/components/screenShare/screen.html
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
| <!DOCTYPE html>
|
| <html>
is there something wrong that I am doing? I know dangerouslySetInnerHTML is not the best way to solve the issue but I tried to change the above html code into react component and it didn't help. So I tried dangerouslySetInnerHTML to convert it but it is still giving error.

React renders HTML to the web page by using a function called ReactDOM.render() .
That's why today, it's often used for static sites, too. React's ability to enable pre-built HTML files that increase loading speed makes it a perfect framework for building an SSG. React allows for a granular approach in making changes to your static website by making it possible only to edit one component file.
JSX allows us to write HTML in React. JSX makes it easier to write and add HTML in React.
By default, importing an HTML file with react will not work. Given your use case and the route which you want to go, the best bet will be to convert the HTML page to a js file and then export for example:
html.js file
module.exports = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ably WebRTC Video call Demo</title>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"
/>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://cdn.temasys.io/adapterjs/0.15.x/adapter.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.temasys.io/adapterjs/0.15.x/adapter.screenshare.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.ably.io/lib/ably.min-1.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/simple-peer/9.1.2/simplepeer.min.js"></script>
<script src="ably-screenshare.js"></script>
<script src="connection-helper.js"></script>
<div class="container-fluid" style="margin-top: 5em;">
<div class="container" id="join">
<h4 id="online">Users online (0)</h4>
<ul id="memberList"></ul>
</div>
<div class="container" id="call" style="display:none;">
<video width="320" height="240" id="local" controls></video>
<video width="320" height="240" id="remote" controls></video>
<button class="btn btn-xs btn-danger" onclick="handleEndCall()">
End call
</button>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<style>
small {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
}
li {
list-style: none;
}
</style>
</html>`;
Here, note the module.exports, as well as the template string used, so you can call it in your react page this way:
import React, { Component } from "react";
var __html = require('./index.html.js');
var template = { __html: __html };
class ScreenShare extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="screen-share">
<span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={template} />
</div>
);
}
}
export default ScreenShare;
