I am having problems displaying { and } as text in React. I saw a similar question that someone said to wrap the entire string in curlies, but this is not working:



let queries_block = this.state.previous_queries.map((dataset) => {
return (<p>{{{}}}<p>)
});

if (results) {
results_block = (
<div>
<p>Queries:</p>
{queries_block}
<br/><br/>
<p>Results: {results_count}</p>
<JSONPretty id=json-pretty json={results}></JSONPretty>
</div>
);
} else {
results_block = null;
}


The return (<p>{{{}}}<p>) causes



ERROR in ./src/components/app.js
Module build failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected token, expected } (47:13)

45 | <JSONPretty id=json-pretty json={results}></JSONPretty>
46 | </div>
> 47 | );
| ^
48 | } else {
49 | results_block = null;
50 | }

@ ./src/index.js 15:11-38
webpack: Failed to compile.


Is there an easy way to escape curly braces in jsx?

I think the issue is just a typo. You have this:



return (<p>{{{}}}<p>)


but you need this (note the closing p tag instead of another opening one):



return (<p>{{{}}}</p>)
