Question

While creating a component in Reactjs with input fields error occurs Error: Parse Error: Line 47: Expected corresponding JSX closing tag for input at http://localhost/chat-react/src/script.js:47:20 </div>

var Main = React.createClass({
    render: function() {
        return (
            <div className="card-action">
                <i class="mdi-action-account-circle prefix"></i>
                <input id="icon_prefix" type="text" class="validate">
            </div>
        );
    }
});

Answer 1

You need to close the input element with a /> at the end.

<input id="icon_prefix" type="text" class="validate" />

Answer 2

This error also happens if you have got the order of your components wrong.

Example: this wrong:

 <ComponentA> 
    <ComponentB> 

    </ComponentA> 
 </ComponentB> 

correct way:

  <ComponentA> 
    <ComponentB>

    </ComponentB>  
  </ComponentA> 

Answer 3

You have to close all tags like , etc for this to not show.

Answer 4

It happens when we do not close a html tag.

Make sure all the html tags are closed.

In my case it was the <br> tag. It should be <br />.

Try temporarily removing piece of code until you found which html tag closing is missing.
