JSX allows us to use attributes with the HTML elements just like we do with normal HTML. But instead of the normal naming convention of HTML, JSX uses camelcase convention for attributes. For example, class in HTML becomes className in JSX. The main reason behind this is that some of the attribute names in HTML like \u2018class\u2019 are reserved keywords in JavaScripts. So, in order to avoid this problem, JSX uses the camel case naming convention for attributes. We can also use custom attributes in JSX. For custom attributes, the names of such attributes should be prefixed by data.<\/p>\n
We can use our own custom attributes in addition to regular HTML properties and attributes. When we want to add custom attribute, we need to use data- prefix. In the following example, we added data-myattribute as an attribute of p element.<\/p>\n
import React from ‘react’;<\/p>\n
class App extends React.Component {<\/p>\n
render() {<\/p>\n
return (<\/p>\n
<div><\/p>\n
<h1>Header<\/h1><\/p>\n
<h2>Content<\/h2><\/p>\n
<p data-myattribute = “somevalue”>This is the content!!!<\/p><\/p>\n
<\/div><\/p>\n
);<\/p>\n
}<\/p>\n
}<\/p>\n
