I have this array.map() arrow function and have the following error: "Array.prototype.map() expects a value to be returned at the end of arrow function array-callback-return"
Here is my code:
{productList.map((val) => {
const category = val.CategoryName;
// const quantity = val.ProductQuantity
if (category === "MotorcycleParts") {
if (val.ProductQuantity !== 0) {
return (
<div>
<div>
<div class="buyNowBtnDiv">
{localStorage.getItem("username") === "" ||
localStorage.length === 0 ? (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
) : (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
})}
I have read about the error and I see it has something to do with requiring a returning value, but I do have this?
A code example with a fix would help, I think it would be something simple.
You could just return null when the listed conditions are not matched:
{productList.map((val) => {
const category = val.CategoryName;
// const quantity = val.ProductQuantity
if (category === "MotorcycleParts") {
if (val.ProductQuantity !== 0) {
return (
<div>
<div>
<div class="buyNowBtnDiv">
{localStorage.getItem("username") === "" ||
localStorage.length === 0 ? (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
) : (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
return null;
}
})}
map has to return a value for each item.
If you want to do some filtering, you should consider using Array.prototype.filter() before, so you can remove the ifs in your map.
The code is also way more easy to read.
{productList.filter(val => val.CategoryName === "MotorcycleParts" && val.ProductQuantity !== 0)
.map((val) => {
return (
<div>
<div>
<div class="buyNowBtnDiv">
{localStorage.getItem("username") === "" ||
localStorage.length === 0 ? (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
) : (
<div id="buyAddBtn">
</div>
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
})}
