Render curly braces as plain text in React/JSX

If you'd like to render curly braces as plain text within a JSX document simply use the HTML character codes.

Left Curly Brace { : {

Right Curly Brace } : }

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>)

If you are in a situation where you can't use { and }, then you can use custom code:

export default class Component extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      Some object {'{'}id: 1{'}'}
    )
  }
}

Which will output the text Some object {id: 1}

Update: Changed it to a better solution, thanks to @xec

You can even use string interpolation in ES6. Template literals are string literals allowing embedded expressions. You can use multi-line strings and string interpolation features with them. Template literals are enclosed by the backtick (` `) (grave accent) character instead of double or single quotes.

eg: return (<p>{`{{}}`}</p>)
