React diplay objects that have lists within them

I have the below prop being passed in my component, which should then display it.

const userData = {'name':'Tom','hobbies':['Basketball','Judo']}
const userDataDisplay = props => {
return (
<>
   <h2>{props.name}</h2>
   <p>{props.hobbies.map(hobby=><li>{hobby}</li>)}</p>
</>
)
}

But When I add another user, both the usernames come first and then the hobbies, when what I need is the hobbies for each user to come after the name.

 Tom
 Sam

Basketball
Judo
Carrom

appears instead of

 Tom
Basketball
Judo

 Sam
Carrom

What obvious thing am I missing?

that's because you need to first loop thorough your array and then base on each hobby display both h2 tag and p tag

First of all, to have multiple users you will need an Array, you only have one user object. If you have an array you can loop over all the users using map() the same way you already loop over your hobbies.

Second, list items <li> only really make sense within a list <ul> or <ol>. And in fact what you want is a nested list so you should use nested lists.

Here a working solution which reflects the abovementioned changes. 

const userData = [
  { name: "Tom", hobbies: ["Basketball", "Judo"] },
  { name: "Sam", hobbies: ["Carrom", "Football"] },
];

const UserDataDisplay = ({ userData }) => {
  return (
    <ul>
      {userData.map((user) => (
        <li>
          <ul>
            <h2>{user.name}</h2>
            {user.hobbies.map((hobby) => (
                <li>{hobby}</li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
};

ReactDOM.render(
  <UserDataDisplay userData={userData} />,
  document.getElementById("root")
);
