JSX expressions must have one parent element.

Hi Guys ,


This blog is about the error " JSX expressions must have one parent element.

Let's look at the erroneous code .

import React from 'react';

export default ({ name }) => <h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<input type="text" placeholder="enter asset"/>;

You can see there are two elements <h1> and <input> .
The error is because react does not allow multiple component as a parent component . To fix this issue we can put the two elements under single parent component , like a <div> .

Let's fix the code .

import React from 'react';

export default ({ name }) => <div><h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<input type="text" placeholder="enter asset"/>  </div>;

The error is gone . Hope this helps , Thanks !
