Okay, so here is my problem. I am getting props via getserversideprops, and I have tried multiple fixes but I can not get it to display. Here is the code:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import rpstyle from '/styles/home/recentPosts.module.css'
export default class RecentPosts extends Component {
constructor() {
super()
this.state = { posts: this.props.posts }
}
static async getServerSideProps() {
const res = await fetch('http://localhost:5000/search/recentposts')
const json = await res.json()
return { posts : json }
}
viewAllButton(){
if(this.props.viewAll != false){
return (
<div className={rpstyle.viewAll}>
<a href='#'>View All Posts</a>
</div>
)
} else {
return null
}
}
render() {
return (
<div className={rpstyle.container}>
<hr />
<h1>Recent Posts</h1>
{console.log(this.props.posts)}
{this.viewAllButton()}
</div>
)
}
}
For some reason I can not find a good guide for class-based components and this method. If someone has any ideas on making this not display undefined please let me know!
hi you can use the same api for classes as well, if you are using a recent version of next you need to change the return object of getServerSideProps, it needs to have a props key
import React, { Component } from 'react';
export default class RecentPosts extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.state = { posts: props.data }
}
viewAllButton(){
if(this.props.viewAll != false){
return (
<div className={rpstyle.viewAll}>
<a href='#'>View All Posts</a>
</div>
)
} else {
return null
}
}
render() {
return (
<>
<hr />
<h1>Recent Posts</h1>
{console.log(this.state)}
{/* {this.viewAllButton()} */}
</>
)
}
}
export async function getServerSideProps() {
const res = await fetch('https://reqres.in/api/users')
const json = await res.json()
return { props : json }
}
Okay, I took a little bit from your answers as well some more research and found this to work great:
import Recentstuff from '../components/home/recentposts/RecentPosts'
export default function Home({data}) {
return (
<div>
<Recentstuff posts={data} />
</div>
)
}
export const getServerSideProps = async () => {
const res = await fetch('http://localhost:5000/search/recentposts')
const data = await res.json()
return { props : {data} }
}
I hope this helps anyone who had the same issue. You have to call it within the page file, the pass it as a prop. MAKE SURE you properly destructure it, because I had a good little time tracking down why my api calls were showing on my api but not within my client.
