react/jsx-no-comment-textnodes Suspicious

What it does

This rule prevents comment strings (e.g. beginning with // or /*) from being accidentally injected as a text node in JSX statements.

Why is this bad?

In JSX, any text node that is not wrapped in curly braces is considered a literal string to be rendered. This can lead to unexpected behavior when the text contains a comment.

Example

jsx
// Incorrect:

const Hello = () => {
  return <div>// empty div</div>;
};

const Hello = () => {
  return <div>/* empty div */</div>;
};

// Correct:

const Hello = () => {
  return <div>// empty div</div>;
};

const Hello = () => {
  return <div>{/* empty div */}</div>;
};
