I am using react. I want to add a line break <br> between strings
'No results' and 'Please try another search term.'.
I have tried 'No results.<br>Please try another search term.'
but it does not work, I need to add the <br> in the html.
Any ideas how to solve it?
render() {
let data = this.props.data;
let isLoading = this.props.isLoading;
let isDataEmpty = Object.entries(data).length === 0;
let movieList = isLoading ? <Loader /> : isDataEmpty ? 'No results. Please try another search term.' :
Object.entries(data).map((movie, index) => <MovieTile key={index} {...movie[1]} />);
return (
<div className='movieList'>{movieList}</div>
);
}You should use JSX instead of string:
<div>No results.<br />Please try another search term.</div>
Because each jsx should have 1 wrapper I added a
<div>wrapper for the string.
Here it is in your code:
render() {
let data = this.props.data;
let isLoading = this.props.isLoading;
let isDataEmpty = Object.entries(data).length === 0;
let movieList = isLoading ? <Loader /> : isDataEmpty ? <div>No results.<br />Please try another search term.</div> :
Object.entries(data).map((movie, index) => <MovieTile key={index} {...movie[1]} />);
return (
<div className='movieList'>{movieList}</div>
);
}
You can use CSS white-space to solve the problem.
React Component
render() {
message = `No results. \n Please try another search term.`;
return (
<div className='new-line'>{message}</div>
);
}
CSS
.new-line {
white-space: pre-line;
}
OUTPUT
No results.
Please try another search term.
break text to line:
render() {
...
<div>
{this.props.data.split('\n').map( (it, i) => <div key={'x'+i}>{it}</div> )}
</div>
