When you iterate through an array and render something for each element in React, you need to assign a 'key' property to each element. This helps React's virtual DOM keep track of the changes that take place. Luckily, this is a pretty simple task.

Say you had an array of names: const names = ['tom', 'jerry', 'frank', 'lilly']

to iterate through these and render a paragraph tag for each name without React complaining you would do this in your return method of your component:

return (
 {
   names.map((name, index) => <p key={index}>{name}</p>
 }
)

You create a key for each element you are rendering in the list. It can be anything so long as it is unique. So if you wanted to, you could have the names be the key, but it might no be good practice if you have duplicate values in your array.
