[Suggestion]: Change the error message "Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {aaa, bbb}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

Summary

You get the error message above when you create a functional component and omit to surround the properties with curly braces {}.

The message should be more directive.

Details

I think everybody does this when they first create a component. Type the error in your search engine, and you will see thousands of people asking the same question. For the sake of argument I attempted to "use and array instead" and got even more mysterious messages.

I believe the error message should be more like (for a component called MyComponent ) :

MyComponent is a functional component, and as such groups together all properties from the JSX tag into a single object. To use those properties directly in the body of MyComponent , surround the list of properties with curly brackets, such as MyComponent({foo, bar}). For more information, read https://react.dev/learn/passing-props-to-a-component .

No source file or test is named. First confirm whether this error message belongs in react.dev or the React runtime, then locate the existing message and its tests. Done means the ownership is clear and the message gives actionable guidance without misleading users about functional components or JSX props.
