react-raw-html

This is a simple library of React components that can embed raw HTML.

import React from "react"
import RawHtml from "react-raw-html"

const MyComponent = (somePreformattedRawHtml) => {
	// returns a div that embeds somePreformattedRawHtml without escaping it for the browser.
	return <RawHtml.div>{somePreformattedRawHtml}</RawHtml.div>;
}

export default MyComponent;

This is just syntactic sugar around React's dangerouslySetInnerHtml.

Please note that embedding raw HTML that comes from untrusted sources can be extremely dangerous and lead to cross-site scripting attacks. You should only use these components if you are completely positive that the content you are embedding is safe.

Also, note that this project is compatible with react-dom-stream. When doing server-side rendering with react-dom-stream, components from react-raw-html can embed either strings or streams of raw HTML.

Installation

npm install react-raw-html

API

RawHtml.<tagname>

All of the current non-empty HTML 5 tag names should be present on the RawHtml object as components. So if you want to embed raw HTML in a span, use RawHtml.span. If you want a div, use RawHtml.div. You get the idea.

RawHtml.addTag(String)

If you want to use a tag that is not part of the HTML5 tag list, this method allows you to add a new tag to RawHtml. Note that the tag should be lower-cased, so that React doesn't think it is a React component.

import React from "react"
import RawHtml from "react-raw-html"

RawHtml.addTag("mycooltag");

const MyComponent = (somePreformattedRawHtml) => {
	return <RawHtml.mycooltag>{somePreformattedRawHtml}</RawHtml.mycooltag>;
}

export default MyComponent;
