react use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render json with html tags

I am trying to render a json list with html tags in the string in a list as follows jsbin. It works in Jsbin. But in my console I got warning below:

warning  Only set one of `children` or `props.dangerouslySetInnerHTML` react/no-danger-with-children

just wonder if there is other way to render the list with dangerouslySetInnerHTML to avoid the warning?

const displayList = [
    {
        item: 1,
        text: "<strong>ABC</strong> this should be strong."
    },
    {
        item: 2,
        text: "<a>ABC</a> this should be link."
    },
    {
        item: 3,
        text: "normal text"
    }
];

const App = () => (
    <ul>
        {displayList.map((item, i) => (
            <li key={i}>
                <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
                    __html: item.text
                }}>
                </div>
            </li>
        ))}
    </ul>
);

ReactDOM.render(
    <App />,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Remove the enclosing tag of your div element in your component so that it looks like the following code:

<li key={i}>
    <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
      __html: item.text
     }} />
</li>

According to this, it should remove the warning.

React is complaining about the use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML in conjunction with safe react children, that happened when you let the div tag opened to such characteristic <div>open and ready for children</div>.

Since you are using the JSX syntax extension, the solution here is write the whole sentence in a single line:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: item.text}}></div>

or just using a singleton div tag:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
       __html: item.text
     }}/>

By the way you are not getting the error on jsbin because it is a react production build, this build is not meant to tell you what could be written better.
