VistasAwait result of API call and update list component
I am calling a REST API and return chat rooms. Those get returned fine, as I can see in the payload of the object via the console.
Now I want to display this in a list.
I was able to display a list and download the chat rooms, but not combine both. This is what I did:
import * as React from 'react';
export default function ChatRoomList({param1}) {
var x = getChatRoom(param1)
console.log(x)
return (
<div>
<li>{param1}</li>
<li> asd </li>
<li> asd </li>
</div>
);
}
async function getChatRoom(status) {
// status could be either 'open' or 'room'
var dict = {
chatType: status,
};
var adminChats = await callKumulosAPIFunction(dict, 'getAdminChat')
return adminChats
}
Now I did try to simply await the first getChatRoom(param1) call. But I can only await inside an async function. I then tried to add the async keyword to the export function, but this would crash the whole app.
How would the workflow be here? And how would I map the result from getChatRoom onto a listview?
The result of the adminChats (console.log(adminChats)):

You need to use useEffect hook to get remote data:
export default function ChatRoomList({param1}) {
React.useEffect(()=>{
(async () => {
var x = await getChatRoom(param1)
console.log(x)
})()
},[])
return (
<div>
<li>{param1}</li>
<li> asd </li>
<li> asd </li>
</div>
);
}
If the data returned from getChatRoom is an array and you want to show it, you need to save the response in a state, or the component will not re-render:
export default function ChatRoomList({param1}) {
const [chatRooms, setChatRooms] = React.useState([]);
React.useEffect(()=>{
(async () => {
var x = await getChatRoom(param1)
setChatRooms(x)
})()
},[])
return (
<div>
<li>{param1}</li>
{chatRooms.map((chatRoom , index) => {
return <li key={index}>{JSON.stringify(chatRoom)}</li>
})}
</div>
);
}
async function getChatRoom(status) {
// status could be either 'open' or 'room'
var dict = {
chatType: status,
};
var adminChats = await callKumulosAPIFunction(dict, 'getAdminChat')
return adminChats.payload
}
I suggest you to read the documentation about React hooks and lifecycle management:

You need to use useEffect hook to call the API.
Read more about hooks
import * as React from 'react';
function getChatRoom(status) {
const [chats, setChats] = React.useState([]);
const getChart = async (status) => {
// status could be either 'open' or 'room'
const dict = {
chatType: status,
};
const adminChats = await callKumulosAPIFunction(dict, 'getAdminChat');
setChats(adminChats);
};
React.useEffect(() => {
getChart(status)
}, [status])
return { chats };
};
export default function ChatRoomList({param1}) {
const { chats } = getChatRoom(param1)
console.log(chats)
return (
<div>
<li>{param1}</li>
{chats?.map((chatRoom , index) => {
return <li key={index}>{JSON.stringify(chatRoom)}</li>
})}
</div>
);
}
Dependencies argument of useEffect is useEffect(callback, dependencies)
Let's explore side effects and runs:
Not provided: the side-effect runs after every rendering.
import { useEffect } from 'react';
function MyComponent() {
useEffect(() => {
// Runs after EVERY rendering
});
}
An empty array []: the side-effect runs once after the initial rendering.
import { useEffect } from 'react';
function MyComponent() {
useEffect(() => {
// Runs ONCE after initial rendering
}, []);
}
Has props or state values [prop1, prop2, ..., state1, state2]: the side-effect runs only when any dependency value changes.
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
function MyComponent({ prop }) {
const [state, setState] = useState('');
useEffect(() => {
// Runs ONCE after initial rendering
// and after every rendering ONLY IF `prop` or `state` changes
}, [prop, state]);
}
