dangerouslySetInnerHTML is React’s replacement for using innerHTML in the browser DOM. In general, setting HTML from code is risky because it’s easy to inadvertently expose your users to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

It is better/safer to sanitise your raw HTML (using e.g., DOMPurify) before injecting it into the DOM via dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

DOMPurify - a DOM-only, super-fast, uber-tolerant XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG. DOMPurify works with a secure default, but offers a lot of configurability and hooks.

Example:

import React from 'react'
import createDOMPurify from 'dompurify'
import { JSDOM } from 'jsdom'

const window = (new JSDOM('')).window
const DOMPurify = createDOMPurify(window)

const rawHTML = `
<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="true">
    Dropdown
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
    <li role="presentation"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Action</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Another action</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Separated link</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
`

const YourComponent = () => (
  <div>
    { <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: DOMPurify.sanitize(rawHTML) }} /> }
  </div>
)

export default YourComponent

You need to set the response.data to a component state using useEffect hook and then render the HTML string using dangerouslySetInnerHTML property.

Try like below.

import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
// import {renderWebpage} from "../actions/webpage"
type HTMLData = {
  content: { "mycustom-html": string };
};

export const Page: React.FC = () => {
  const [htmlData, setHtmlData] = useState<HTMLData>({
    content: { "mycustom-html": "<p>demo</p>" }
  });

  const renderWebpage = () => {
    axios
      .get("http://localhost:8080/61ea7fd2268f37443ca4d59a")
      .then((response) => {
        console.log("response", response);
        console.log(response.data, "data");
        setHtmlData(response.data);
      });
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    renderWebpage();
  }, []);

  return (
    <div
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
        __html: htmlData?.content?.["mycustom-html"]
      }}
    />
  );
};

You can use the dangerouslySetInnerHTML property to inject arbitrary HTML:

// Assume from another require()'ed module:
var html = '<h1>Hello, world!</h1>'

var MyComponent = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return React.createElement("h1", {dangerouslySetInnerHTML: {__html: html}})
  }
})

ReactDOM.render(React.createElement(MyComponent), document.getElementById('app'))

<script src="https://fb.me/react-0.14.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://fb.me/react-dom-0.14.3.min.js"></script>
<div id="app"></div>

You could even componentize this template behavior (untested):

class TemplateComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.html = require(props.template)
  }

  render() {
    return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: this.html}}/>
  }

}

TemplateComponent.propTypes = {
  template: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
}

// use like
<TemplateComponent template='./template.html'/>

And with this, template.html (in the same directory) looks something like (again, untested):

// ./template.html
module.exports = '<h1>Hello, world!</h1>'
