The import line should be:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
Note the uppercase R for React.

Add below setting to .eslintrc.js
/ .eslintrc.json
to ignore these errors:
rules: {
// suppress errors for missing 'import React' in files
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off",
// allow jsx syntax in js files (for next.js project)
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [1, { "extensions": [".js", ".jsx"] }], //should add ".ts" if typescript project
}
Why?
If you’re using NEXT.js
then you do not require to import React
at top of files, nextjs does that for you.

If you’re using React v17, you can safely disable the rule in your eslint configuration file:
"rules": {
...
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off"
...
}

For those who still don’t get the accepted solution :
Add
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
at the top of the file.

If you are running React 17+ (and in 2022, I assume, that you are) — you need to add the following line to your .eslintrc
:
{
"extends": ["plugin:react/jsx-runtime"]
}
Then only import React once in your top-level file, like App.jsx
— and no need to import it anywhere else, unless you need an api like useEffect
etc.

If you’d like to automate the inclusion of import React from 'react'
for all files that use jsx
syntax, install the react-require
babel plugin:
npm install babel-plugin-react-require --save-dev
Add react-require into .babelrc. This plugin should be defined before transform-es2015-modules-commonjs plugin because it’s using ES2015 modules syntax to import React into scope.

In my case, I had to include this two-line in my index.js file from the src folder.
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
In your case, this might be different.
You may need to include components if you’re using class-based components.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
Alternatively, If you are using eslint you can get some solutions from the above comments.

When using the react framework, you first need to import the react from react and always keep the first letter of react in uppercase after import.
import React, {Component} from 'react'`
import React, { Component} from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
class TechView extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
name:'Gopinath'
}
}

Whenever we make a custom component in React using JSX, it is transformed into backward-compatible JS code with the help of Babel
.
Since the JSX compiles into React.createElement, the React
library must also always be in scope.
Example:
This custom component:
<MyButton color="blue" shadowSize={2}> Click Me </MyButton>
is transformed into:
React.createElement(MyButton, {color: 'blue', shadowSize: 2}, 'Click Me')
^^^^^
Since the converted code needs the React
library, we need to import it into the scope.
React Docs Reference
Fix: Import React
import React from 'react';
// or
import * as React from 'react';
Pick one, it depends on the user!
NOTE:
As of React 17+, we are free from doing such import, but it’s better to add the imports
just to be on the safe side because errors can be generated because of ESLint!
One can disable the rule in the ESLint config file (.eslintrc.json
) to ignore these errors:
"rules": {
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off"
}

This is an error caused by importing the wrong module react from ‘react’ how about you try this:
1st
import React , { Component} from 'react';
2nd Or you can try this as well:
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
class TechView extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
name:'Gopinath',
}
}
render(){
return(
<span>hello Tech View</span>
);
}
}

for me I got this issue once I used npm audit fix --force
so it downgrade react-scripts
to version 2 and it forces me to install eslint
versions 5 and issues started to flood, to fix this I have update it again react-scripts
and things worked out.
Also make sure that your eslint
contains those rules
module.exports = {
extends: ['react-app', 'react-app/jest', 'airbnb', 'prettier'],
plugins: ['prettier'],
rules: {
...
// React scope no longer necessary with new JSX transform
'react/react-in-jsx-scope': 'off',
// Allow .js files to use JSX syntax
'react/jsx-filename-extension': ['error', { extensions: ['.js', '.jsx'] }],

Other Things I have done is,
(1) added below lines to index.js file.

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
if not worked add this line for ReactDOM import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
instead of import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
(2) change following properties for eslint configuration file.

I was using the react-scripts version 0.9.5 and upgrading it to 5.0.1 did the job.

One thing that I noticed is that import React from «react»; should be there instead of import react , { Component} from 'react';
Other Things I have done is,
(1) added below lines to index.js file.
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
if not worked add this line for ReactDOM import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
instead of import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
(2) change following properties for eslint configuration file.
rules: {
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off",
}
But Starting from React 17,Dont need to add import React from ‘react’ and next js as well

The line below solved this problem for me.
/** @jsx jsx */
import {css, jsx} from "@emotion/react";
hope this help you.

React must be in scope when using JSX
Quite an annoying error, right ? What does it even mean anyway, you simply wrote a pretty basic component, and nothing happen but this error.
You don’t know how to fix it ? Or you never bothered looking at why you need to do so ? Or maybe you heard that the versions 17+ of React dispense us from doing so, but still getting the error ?
You’re at the right place, we’ll go through the why, up to the how. Feel free to skip any part with the table of contents below.
Got your coffee ? ☕ Let’s dive in.
Table of contents
- Why are we getting this error ?
- How to fix ?
- React version 17 and beyond
Why are we getting this error ?
First, in order to understand why, you need to know how the JSX synthax work. For a complete breakdown, feel free to read this previous blog post that I wrote.
For a quick answer, let’s analyse a React component :
<CustomButton color='red'>Click me !</CustomButton>
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
This example come directly from the React official documentation
When React receive this component, it basically transform into this :
React.createElement(CustomButton, { color: 'red' }, 'Click me !');
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Because JSX is nothing but syntactic sugar for the createElement function, the code above will be called when creating our component.
But .. In the context of our file, we never imported React. What will happen ?
Exactly : React must be in scope when using JSX
.
If we don’t import it at the top of our file, the React.createElement would crash, as React would be undefined.
How to fix ?
As stated before, you need to import React within your file, in order for the script to resolve properly the createElement function. From here, you have multiple choices :
import React from 'react';
// or
import * as React from 'react';
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Feel free to refer this Dan Abramov tweet for more informations.
At the end, it’s up to your preferences, there’s no immediate downsides using one or the other.
Wait, didn’t you say that in version 17+ we don’t need it anymore ? Indeed.
React version 17 and beyond
As of React v.17.0, we are now free from doing such import. If you want more informations, here’s the link for the official release notes from the React team.
If you want the quick explanation, they added some code for compilers (such as Babel) to plug in, and add the import themselves when compiling our JSX. Hot stuff, right ?
But you might still get the error.
What ?
Yes, but it’s not from React ! As we said before, most of the time, the projects use a linting tool such as Eslint, and some specific set of rules as been created for React. One of them enforce you to import React if it detect any JSX within the file.
If you’re using React v.17.0 and beyond, you can freely disable the rules.
"react/jsx-uses-react": "off",
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off"
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
You can now remove all the
import React from 'react';
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Before your finished your coffee, you learned why we needed to import React with JSX.
I hope you enjoyed the read, and learned as much as I did. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach to me on Twitter or in the comments below. Have a nice day !
I am an Angular Developer and new to React , This is simple react Component but not working

The import line should be:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
Note the uppercase R for React.

Add below setting to .eslintrc.js
/ .eslintrc.json
to ignore these errors:
rules: {
// suppress errors for missing 'import React' in files
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off",
// allow jsx syntax in js files (for next.js project)
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [1, { "extensions": [".js", ".jsx"] }], //should add ".ts" if typescript project
}
Why?
If you’re using NEXT.js
then you do not require to import React
at top of files, nextjs does that for you.

If you’re using React v17, you can safely disable the rule in your eslint configuration file:
"rules": {
...
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off"
...
}

For those who still don’t get the accepted solution :
Add
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
at the top of the file.

If you are running React 17+ (and in 2022, I assume, that you are) — you need to add the following line to your .eslintrc
:
{
"extends": ["plugin:react/jsx-runtime"]
}
Then only import React once in your top-level file, like App.jsx
— and no need to import it anywhere else, unless you need an api like useEffect
etc.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
This is a spelling error, you need to type React
instead of react
.

If you’d like to automate the inclusion of import React from 'react'
for all files that use jsx
syntax, install the react-require
babel plugin:
npm install babel-plugin-react-require --save-dev
Add react-require into .babelrc. This plugin should be defined before transform-es2015-modules-commonjs plugin because it’s using ES2015 modules syntax to import React into scope.
{
"plugins": [
"react-require"
]
}

In my case, I had to include this two-line in my index.js file from the src folder.
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
In your case, this might be different.
You may need to include components if you’re using class-based components.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
Alternatively, If you are using eslint you can get some solutions from the above comments.

When using the react framework, you first need to import the react from react and always keep the first letter of react in uppercase after import.
import React, {Component} from 'react'`
import React, { Component} from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
class TechView extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
name:'Gopinath'
}
}
render(){
return(
<span>hello Tech View</span>
);
}
}
export default TechView;

I had the similar issue.
Got fixed after i added the code below in the main component: App.js
If you have other components, make sure to import react in those files too.
import React from "react";

Whenever we make a custom component in React using JSX, it is transformed into backward-compatible JS code with the help of Babel
.
Since the JSX compiles into React.createElement, the React
library must also always be in scope.
Example:
This custom component:
<MyButton color="blue" shadowSize={2}> Click Me </MyButton>
is transformed into:
React.createElement(MyButton, {color: 'blue', shadowSize: 2}, 'Click Me')
^^^^^
Since the converted code needs the React
library, we need to import it into the scope.
React Docs Reference
Fix: Import React
import React from 'react';
// or
import * as React from 'react';
Pick one, it depends on the user!
NOTE:
As of React 17+, we are free from doing such import, but it’s better to add the imports
just to be on the safe side because errors can be generated because of ESLint!
One can disable the rule in the ESLint config file (.eslintrc.json
) to ignore these errors:
"rules": {
"react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off"
}

This is an error caused by importing the wrong module react from ‘react’ how about you try this:
1st
import React , { Component} from 'react';
2nd Or you can try this as well:
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
class TechView extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
name:'Gopinath',
}
}
render(){
return(
<span>hello Tech View</span>
);
}
}
export default TechView;

for me I got this issue once I used npm audit fix --force
so it downgrade react-scripts
to version 2 and it forces me to install eslint
versions 5 and issues started to flood, to fix this I have update it again react-scripts
and things worked out.
Also make sure that your eslint
contains those rules
module.exports = {
extends: ['react-app', 'react-app/jest', 'airbnb', 'prettier'],
plugins: ['prettier'],
rules: {
...
// React scope no longer necessary with new JSX transform
'react/react-in-jsx-scope': 'off',
// Allow .js files to use JSX syntax
'react/jsx-filename-extension': ['error', { extensions: ['.js', '.jsx'] }],
...
},
}
