Viewshow to render list in react using api
>Aim
To render the list fetched from dummy API.
The Code
App.js
import logo from './logo.svg';
import Header from './components/Header';
import MapArea from './components/MapArea';
import Card from './components/Card';
import './App.css';
import React from "react";
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(e){
super();
this.state = {
menu:false,
userData:[]
}
}
componentDidMount() {
fetch("https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2")
.then((a)=>{return a.json()})
.then((b)=>{
this.setState({
userData:b
})
})
}
Card.js
function Card(props){
let userData = props.data.userData.data;
console.log(userData) //Sometimes WORKING FINE
return(<div>{userData.map((item)=>{<h1 key={item.id}>item.id</h1>})}</div>)
}
export default Card;
The Problem
Now the thing is that sometimes the console.log works and sometimes it doesnt. Then I have to remove the javascript "{}" in render method of the Card.js and save and again paste it back and save. I have also added image of console when the console.log doesnt work
Also the list doesnt render.

Your initial state is wrong. The dummy api returns the array under the "data" field, so you need to match that structure in the initial state.
this.state = {
menu:false,
userData:{ data: [] }
}

The callback for .map() isn't returning anything. Arrow functions only have an implicit return if there are no curly braces surrounding the function. So either remove the curly braces:
userData.map((item) => <h1 key={item.id}>item.id</h1>)
or add an explicit return:
userData.map((item) => { return <h1 key={item.id}>item.id</h1>; })

@kalpeshshende your console.log is "not working" because your initial state doesn't have the same structure as the json returned from the API. I recommend changing your componentDidMount
componentDidMount() {
fetch("https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2")
.then((a)=>{return a.json()})
.then((b)=>{
this.setState({
userData:b?.data ?? []
})
})
and the inside the component: let userData = props.data.userData;
or const {userData} = props.data;
