Jsx element class does not support attributes because it does not have a ‘props’ property

In JSX, elements are the building blocks of React applications. They represent the structure and content of the user interface. Every JSX element can have attributes, also known as props (short for properties), which are used to pass data into the element.

However, when working with a class component in React, the `props` object is not directly accessible from within the class. Instead, the `props` are accessed through the `this.props` property. So, if you try to access `props` directly within the class, it will throw an error stating that the `props` property is undefined.

Here’s an example to illustrate this situation:

    
      // Class component
      class MyComponent extends React.Component {
        render() {
          // Trying to access props directly will throw an error
          return 
{this.props.text}
; } } // Render the component ReactDOM.render( <MyComponent text="Hello, world!" />, document.getElementById('root') );

The above code will cause an error because `this.props` is used to access the props of a class component in React. So, to fix the issue, you need to change `props` to `this.props` within the `render()` method of the class component.

    
      // Class component
      class MyComponent extends React.Component {
        render() {
          // Accessing props correctly using this.props
          return 
{this.props.text}
; } } // Render the component ReactDOM.render( <MyComponent text="Hello, world!" />, document.getElementById('root') );

By making this change, the component will render without any errors and display the prop value correctly.
