How to enter comments in React: What is the equivalent of html <!-- -->?

In html to create a comment we use:

  <!-- Write your comments here -->

What is its equivalent in React while using React components in the return section of a react component? Sometimes I just want to place some comments like

   <!-- <MyComponent .... /> -->

but I can not do it in this way

write comments as you might do in HTML and XML with <!-- --> syntax. will throw Unexpected token error.

To write comments in JSX, you need to use JavaScript’s forward-slash and asterisk syntax, enclosed inside a curly brace {/* comment here */}.

Here’s the example:

export default function App() {
      return (
        <div>
          <h1>Commenting in React and JSX~ </h1>
          {/* <p>My name is Bob</p> */}
          <p>Nice to meet you!</p>
        </div>
      );
}

As mentioned in comments. You can write comments in React like below

  { /* <MyComponent .... /> */ }

You have to wrap in curly braces, and then block comment: {/* <div /> */}

You cannot do regular HTML comments in jsx, the closest you can get is JS-style comments -

{/* This is a comment */}
