Html

The HtmlComponent is a versatile component designed to render raw HTML content within your Next.js application. It allows for the dynamic insertion of HTML into the page, making it ideal for cases where you need to display HTML content generated from external sources or dynamically loaded content. The component can be dynamically shown or hidden based on the remove prop.

Props

• html: A string containing the raw HTML that will be rendered inside the component. The HTML content is inserted directly into the DOM using dangerouslySetInnerHTML.
• remove: A boolean that determines whether the HTML content should be rendered or not. If true, the HTML content will not be displayed.

Component Code

src/components/availableComponents/HtmlComponent.js

const HtmlComponent = ({ html, remove }) => (
    remove ? null : <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} className="container mx-auto p-4" />
);

export default HtmlComponent;

Component Explanation

• Rendering Raw HTML:

  • The HtmlComponent uses React's dangerouslySetInnerHTML attribute to insert raw HTML into the DOM. This allows you to display complex HTML content without needing to manually create React components for each element.

• Visibility Control:

  • The component's visibility is controlled by the remove prop. If remove is true, the component returns null, and the HTML content is not rendered.

• Styling:

  • The component is wrapped in a div element with classes for basic styling:
    • container: Centers the content and restricts the width of the container.
    • mx-auto: Applies automatic horizontal margins to center the container.
    • p-4: Adds padding inside the container for spacing.

Security Consideration

When using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, it is important to ensure that the HTML content is sanitized to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Only use trusted sources for the html prop, and consider sanitizing the content before rendering it.

Customization

You can customize the HtmlComponent by:

• Adjusting the html prop to render different HTML content.
• Modifying the CSS classes applied to the div for different layout and styling options.
• Implementing content sanitization to enhance security when dealing with untrusted HTML content.
