I'm trying to render multiple cards by pulling data from the API. But the return is an array, I don't understand why the map is not working.
const CharacterCard = () => {
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false)
const openModal = () => {
setShowModal(prev => !prev)
}
const characters = useRequestData([], `${BASE_URL}/characters`)
const renderCard = characters.map((character) => {
return (
<CardContainer key={character._id} imageUrl={character.imageUrl}/>
)
})
return (
<Container>
{renderCard}
<ModalScreen showModal={showModal} setShowModal={setShowModal} />
</Container>
)
}
export default CharacterCard
The hook is this
import { useEffect, useState } from "react"
import axios from "axios"
const useRequestData = (initialState, url) => {
const [data, setData] = useState(initialState)
useEffect(() => {
axios.get(url)
.then((res) => {
setData(res.data)
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err.data)
})
}, [url])
return (data)
}
export default useRequestData
Looks like the default value of the characters is undefined.
So something like (characters || []).map.. will help I think.
For deeper look at this you can debug useRequestData hook, as I can't see the source of that hook from you example
