Reactjs: br tag and ajax request

Question

My question is divided into two parts:

1. I know how to do ajax request to third party api on componentDidMount but when i tried doing same request with a function on a click event it did not happen?

2. I also tried to use <br> tag in react to break a line but it does not render at a all and gives me error.

Can anyone please help me to understand why this is happening and how can i resolve these issues?

Answer 1

1. This should work. Please post a working example (e.g., on jsfiddle) that shows how you're having trouble.

2. Try <br />. All self-closing tags must have the final slash in React.

(In the future, best to post as separate questions.)
