15,894 PointsHow about using " and ' with HTML string?
I'm a bit confused that we don't need to use quote operators inside of {} since it supposes to be JavaScript. Please take a look at my first version of the element App:
const App = (props) => {
return(
<div className="scoreboard">
<Header title="Scoreboard" totalPlayers={1} />
{/* Players list */}
{
props.initialPlayers.map(player=>
<Player
name={player.name}
score={player.score}
/>
)}
</div>
);
}
Of course, the output is wrong. But I'm still a bit confused about why we don't need to wrap HTML code inside of { } into the quote operators. I hope my question does make sense.

<Player name={player.name} score={player.score} these are variables, not strings.
You dynamically assign the value, based on the value of the properties 'name' and 'score' of the player object.
You don't want a string, you want a dynamic value. Hence no quotes. If you'd want a static value you would use quotes (but then why would you need to use react if you want to serve a static page?)
