Motivation

The current error message: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Object])

It can be confusing for beginners. It does not provide guidance on how to fix the issue or link to relevant documentation.

This PR improves clarity by:

  • Displaying object keys when possible.
  • Suggesting JSON.stringify(obj) or mapping over arrays.
  • Providing more actionable guidance for developers.

How I Tested This Change:

  • Clone the repository, switch to your branch, and install all necessary dependencies.
  • Build React in development mode to ensure the changes take effect.
  • Create a test application and render an object or array in JSX to reproduce the original error.
  • Run the test app and verify that the new error message displays object keys, suggests using JSON.stringify(obj) or mapping over arrays, and provides clear actionable guidance.

Updated the React error message for invalid children to be more descriptive.
Now suggests using an array for collections or converting objects with JSON.stringify(obj) and rendering properties explicitly.
Includes a reference link to the React docs for rendering lists for better guidance.
Closes #34530
