Im making a project where I fetch an image of a recipe card from https://spoonacular.com and I want it displayed on my react.js app. For some reason I can't get the API data from displaying on the page when I run it. Please help Im really stuck. I keep getting the error that recipeList is undefined in Recipe.js but I thought it was defined?
This is my Home.js:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
import Recipe from "../components/Recipes";
const URL = `https://api.spoonacular.com/recipes/716429/information?apiKey=${APIKey}&includeNutrition=false`;
function Home() {
const [food, setFood] = useState();
useEffect(() => {
if (food) {
axios
.get(URL)
.then(function (response) {
const recipeList = response.data;
setFood(recipeList);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.warn(error);
});
}
}, [food]);
return (
<main>
<Recipe recipeList={food} />
</main>
);
}
export default Home;
this is my Recipe.js
import React from "react";
function Recipe({ recipeList }) {
return (
<div className="Recipe">
<div>{recipeList.title}</div>
<img src={recipeList.image} />
</div>
);
}
export default Recipe;
you need initializing empty
const [food, setFood] = useState({});
and in useEffect evaluate if food is empty
useEffect(() => {
const getData=()=>{
axios
.get(URL)
.then(function (response) {
const {data} = response;
setFood(data);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.warn(error);
});
}
if(!food){ // validate if food is empthy to get data (food)
getData()
}
}, []); // here is not necesary use food, because never happen anything with that variable
The response example can be seen here.
To call that using axios:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
import Recipe from "../components/Recipes";
const URL = `https://api.spoonacular.com/recipes/716429/information?apiKey=${APIKey}&includeNutrition=false`;
function Home() {
const [food, setFood] = useState({});
useEffect(() => {
// You can add any if-else statement here
// but you can also do the fetch without it
axios
.get(URL)
.then(function (response) {
setFood(response.data);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.warn(error);
});
}, []);
return (
<main>
<Recipe recipeList={food} />
</main>
);
}
export default Home;
And based on the response, your Recipe.js should working properly.
