React JSX Expressions

One of the most powerful features of JSX is the ability to embed JavaScript expressions directly within your markup.

Expressions

You can insert any valid JavaScript expression inside JSX by wrapping it in curly braces { } .

React will evaluate the expression and render the result in the DOM.

Example

Execute the expression 218 * 1.36 :

function Car() {
 return ( <> <h1>My car</h1> <p>It has {218 * 1.36} horsepower</p> </> );
}

Variables

Variables are also valid expressions. Insert variables in JSX by wrapping it in curly braces { } .

Use a variable inside JSX

function Car() {
 const hp = 218 * 1.36;
 return ( <> <h1>My car</h1> <p>It has {hp} horsepower</p> </> );
}

Function Calls

Function calls are valid expressions. Insert function calls in JSX by wrapping it in curly braces { } .

Use a function inside JSX

function kwtohp(kw) {
 return kw * 1.36;
}
function Car() {
 return ( <> <h1>My car</h1> <p>It has {kwtohp(218)} horsepower</p> </> );
}

Object Properties

Example

Refer to an object property inside JSX:

function Car() {
 const myobj = {
 name: "Fiat", model: "500", color: "white"
 };
 return ( <> <h1>My car is a {myobj.color} {myobj.name} {myobj.model}</h1> </> );
}
