react-dynamic-render v2.0.0

react-dynamic-render Completely replace dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render dynamic HTML and CSS in React

To render external HTML in React, the only way is “dangerouslySetInnerHTML” which as the name suggests can be dangerous as it makes your code vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

react-dynamic-render has zero-dependency only react as peer-dependency, making it very light. Completely eliminating the use of “dangerouslySetInnerHTML” and using React.createElement function to render HTML and CSS. With additional script to eliminate any kind of script or dangerous element/attributes.

Where to use react-dynamic-render?

If you need to use dynamic UI for a perticular component or a complete page you can use react-dynamic-render with react.

Note: Any kind of JS script will be eliminated in the process

Usage

Below is a quick example how to use react-dynamic-render:

import React from "react";
import {
  DynamicRenderJson,
  htmlReactParser,
  DynamicRender,
  vNodeToHtmlString,
} from "react-dynamic-render";

const PComponent = ({ text }) => {
  return <p>{text}</p>;
};

const html = `
<div>
  <style>
    .heading {
      color: red;
    }
  </style>
  <div>
    <h1 class="heading">Testing React Dynamic Render (react-dynamic-render)</h1>
    {"component": "CustomComponent", "props": { "text": "Hello World" }}
  </div>
</div>
`;

const index = () => {
  const htmlJson = htmlReactParser({ htmlString: html });
  console.log("htmlJson", htmlJson);
  // htmlJson {type: 'div', props: {…}}

  const htmlString = vNodeToHtmlString({
    htmlJson,
    customComponents: { // CustomComponents is not mandatory
      CustomComponent: PComponent,
    },
  });
  console.log("htmlString", htmlString);
  // htmlString <div><style> .heading { color: red; } </style><div><h1 class="heading">Testing React Dynamic Render (react-dynamic-render)</h1><p>Hello World</p></div></div>

  return (
    <div>
      <DynamicRenderJson
        htmlJson={htmlJson}
        customComponents={{ // CustomComponents is not mandatory
          CustomComponent: PComponent, 
        }}
      />
      <DynamicRender
        htmlString={htmlString}
        customComponents={{ // CustomComponents is not mandatory
          CustomComponent: PComponent, 
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default index;

customComponents can be used to add more functionality to it
