I want to implement a search bar that will filter out a list of Pokémon whenever a user types into it. I have looked through other solutions but I am still getting confused. Here is my code:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import PokemonCard from "./PokemonCard";
import Loading from "../layout/Loading";
import axios from "axios";
export default class PokemonList extends Component {
state = {
url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon?/",
pokemon: null,
pokeTemp: null,
searchValue: "",
};
//information about pokemon
async componentDidMount() {
const res = await axios.get(this.state.url);
this.setState({ pokemon: res.data["results"] });
this.setState({ pokeTemp: res.data["results"] });
}
//user search for pokemon
handleInputChange = (event) => {
const value = event.target.value;
this.setState({ searchValue: value });
};
filterPokemon = (userSearch) => {
const allPokemon = [...this.state.pokeTemp];
this.setState({
pokemon: allPokemon.filter((pokemon) =>
pokemon.name.toLowerCase().includes(userSearch.toLowerCase())
),
});
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<input
type="text"
value={this.state.searchValue}
onChange={this.handleInputChange}
/>
{this.state.pokemon ? (
<div className="row">
{this.state.pokemon.map((pokemon) => (
<PokemonCard
key={pokemon.name}
name={pokemon.name}
url={pokemon.url}
/>
))}
</div>
) : (
<Loading />
)}
</div>
);
}
}
I have an idea that as soon as the user types in a value, it will update the value, then we also use that value to filter the data, then map that filter later in the div but I am having some trouble implementing this.
Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong? Any help or explanation will be helpful, thank you!
Your code actually works just fine, it's just that you forgot to call filterPokemon() in handleInputChange.
