For React you must use it s per-define keywords to define html attributes       class -  className   is used and      for -  htmlFor   is used  as react is case sensitive make sure you must follow small and capital as required

User · Answer

The for attribute is called htmlFor for consistency with the DOM property API  If you re using the development build of React  you should have seen a warning in your console about this

User · Answer

both for and class are reserved words in JavaScript this is why when it comes to HTML attributes in JSX you need to use something else  React team decided to use htmlFor and className respectively

User · Answer
