Generally, the map() method is used to iterate over an array and call a function on every element of the array and if I am using userDataInfo as an array then why I am getting this error?
const [userDataInfo, setUserDataInfo] = useState([]);
userDataInfo starts out as an array.
.get("https://random-data-api.com/api/address/random_address")
But then you get that URL which returns a JSON representation of an object (not an array).
return JSON.stringify(response);
And then you convert the object into a string of JSON before storing that string in setUserDataInfo.
fetch or localStorage). It isn't useful for processing data structures internally.userDataInfo. If you are going to store multiple addresses in there, then use an array (and change your handling of the data from the URL to reflect that … e.g. by adding to an existing array instead of overwriting with a single value). If you are going to use only a single item, then only store a single item (and get rid of the map).response object would be in the following format
{
data:"some data"
}
assuming that the api request returns an array then all you need to do is:
axios
.get("https://random-data-api.com/api/address/random_address")
.then(function (response) {
setUserDataInfo(response.data);
})
perhaps take a look at the axios documentation if need further clarification on the response schema below:
