i've got a problem. I'm trying to make data search from API.
The problem is that {people.length === 0 && <p>No data</p>} is not working. When i console.log people.length the length value doesn't change when i'm typing. Where's the problem?
Here's my code:
const PeopleSearch = () => {
const [people, setPeople] = useState([]);
const [search, setSearch] = useState('');
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
setLoading(true);
const fetchData = async () => {
const response = await axios.get(swapi);
const transformedPeople = response.data.results.sort((a, b) =>
a.name.localeCompare(b.name)
);
setPeople(transformedPeople);
setLoading(false);
};
fetchData();
}, []);
const searchHandler = (event) => {
setSearch(event.target.value);
};
return (
<>
<Input
type="text"
placeholder="Search by name..."
onChange={searchHandler}
/>
<section>
{loading ? (
<Loading />
) : (
<PeopleList
people={people.filter(({ name }) => {
if (name.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase())) {
return people;
}
})}
/>
)}
{people.length === 0 && <p>No data</p>}
</section>
</>
);
};
You're only calling setPeople once, on mount, with the useEffect(() => { ... }, []) - so people.length will remain the same once the API call completes. You need to use the filtered array both for the PeopleList prop and the No data check.
You should also tweak your filter, since it only cares about whether its return value is truthy or not.
const filteredPeople = people.filter(({ name }) => name.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase()));
return (
<>
<Input
type="text"
placeholder="Search by name..."
onChange={searchHandler}
/>
<section>
{loading ? (
<Loading />
) : (
<PeopleList
people={filteredPeople}
/>
)}
{filteredPeople.length === 0 && !loading && <p>No data</p>}
</section>
</>
);
