Error message
Warning: Each child in a list should have a unique 'key' prop.
What broke
In React, when rendering a list of elements, each child must have a unique 'key' prop to help React identify which items have changed, been added, or removed. Without unique keys, React may not efficiently update the UI.
Why it broke
The warning occurs because the list items are being rendered without a unique identifier, which can lead to performance issues and incorrect rendering behavior. React relies on these keys to optimize rendering.
How to fix
To fix this, ensure that each element in the list has a unique 'key' prop. You can use an ID from your data or the index of the item in the array, but using a stable ID is preferred.
