Warning: React.jsx: type is invalid -- expected a string

This warning message in React typically indicates that you are passing the wrong type of value to a component prop. In React, components can accept props (short for "properties"), which are values that are passed to the component from its parent component.


To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that you are passing the correct type of value for each prop. For example, if a component expects a string value for a prop, you should pass it a string and not a number or an object. You can check the component documentation or the source code to see what type of values are expected for each prop.


Here's an example to demonstrate this:


javascript

Copy code

const MyComponent = (props) => {

  return <div>{props.name}</div>;

};


// Correct usage:

<MyComponent name="John Doe" />


// Incorrect usage:

<MyComponent name={123} />

In the correct usage, the name prop is passed a string value. In the incorrect usage, the name prop is passed a number, which is not what the component is expecting. This will result in the "Warning: React.jsx: type is invalid -- expected a string" warning message.


To fix this warning, ensure that the type prop being passed to a React component is a string value. It could be one of the following string values: 'button', 'checkbox', 'file', 'hidden', 'image', 'password', 'radio', 'reset', 'submit'. If you're using a custom component, make sure it accepts a type prop and that the value being passed is a string.
