What is JSX —

JSX was invented by a team at Facebook/Meta, the same team that created React.

JSX stands for JavaScript XML. JSX is a syntax extension to JavaScript. JSX lets you put markup into JavaScript.

---

Curly braces for JSX

Curly braces let you "escape back" into JavaScript so that you can embed some variable from your code and display it to the user.

 return (
  <h1>
    {user.name}
  </h1>
 );

 return (
  <img
    className="avatar"
    src={user.imageUrl}
  />
 );

---

Double Curly braces for JSX

Not a special syntax, but a regular {} object inside the style={ } JSX curly braces.

 return (
  <img
    className="avatar"
    src={user.imageUrl}
    style={{
      width: user.imageSize,
      height: user.imageSize
    }}
  />
 );

---

Conditions in JSX

"if" does not work in JSX.

if else

 <div>
  {isLoggedIn ? (
    <AdminPanel />
  ) : (
    <LoginForm />
  )}
 </div>

if wo else

 <div>
  {isLoggedIn && <AdminPanel />}
 </div>

Lists in JavaScript

 const products = [{ title: 'Cabbage', id: 1 },  { title: 'Garlic', id: 2 },  { title: 'Apple', id: 3 }];

 const listItems = products.map(product =>
  <li key={product.id}>
    {product.title}
  </li>
 );

 return (
  <ul>{listItems}</ul>
 );
