I'm using a text editor that generates string-like HTML and passes it to my React component.
I want to convert it to an actual DOM element when the render method of my class receives a string that is like html.
Method looks like:
render() {
var specs = this.props.specs
var content = specs.label
if (content[0] == '<') {
let element = document.createElement('div')
element.innerHTML = content
console.log('element', element) // actual html
console.log('element type:', typeof element) // "object"
return element // won't work
return <div> { element } </div> // won't work
return <div> { [element] } <div> // won't work
}
return <div> { content } </div>
}
