Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is Minified React error #31?

It is the production version of the 'Objects are not valid as a React child' error, triggered when you attempt to render a plain JavaScript object in JSX.

Q: Why does React minify errors?

To save bandwidth. Detailed error messages add hundreds of kilobytes of string data, which are stripped out of production builds.

Q: How do I decode minified errors?

Click the URL provided in the console error description or use the official React Error Decoder website.

Q: Does this happen for arrays?

No. React can render arrays of elements natively, only rejecting plain objects.
