Assign a const variable inside a map function

You need to go from expression syntax to the block syntax, using braces and return:

        data.map((item) => {
            const propertyName = item.productName;

            return (<div className="flex-container card" key={item._id}>
                <div className="content">
                    <p>{propertyName}</p>
                </div>
            </div>)
        })

However, you could also use destructuring to get your propertyName, and then you are back to one expression:

        data.map(({productName, _id}) =>
           <div className="flex-container card" key={_id}>
                <div className="content">
                    <p>{propertyName}</p>
                </div>
            </div>
        )
