Im trying to render out the items of an array to the screen and display the items. So I did the .map function. However, when I do the map function, it says that cars.map is not a function. I console logged the items in the car array and it was indeed populated. Is there anything that I am doing wrong here? Any advice helps! Thanks!
const [cars, setCars] = useState([]);
And where the cars array is being set:
useEffect(async () => {
const result = await initCarsInfo();
setCars(result);
}, []);
console.log(cars);
Here is the console log of cars
{cars: Array(2)}cars: Array(2)0: {name: 'Lexus ES', year: 1995, totalMiles: 200000, …}1: {name: 'Kia Sonota', year: 2005, totalMiles: 250000, …}length: 2[[Prototype]]: Array(0)[[Prototype]]: Object
And where I am mapping it:
const getAssetMenuItems = () => {
{cars && cars.map(carObj => {
return (
<MenuItem value="car1">
<span style={{ marginLeft: '10px' }}>
<Typography className={classes.carsName}>{carObj.name}</Typography>
<Typography>{carObj.year}</Typography>
</span>
</MenuItem>
)
})}
};
I console logged the items in the car array and it was indeed populated - This is sort of true, but not how you're expecting.
It appears that cars from your initCarsInfo is returning an object that contains the cars, not returning the array directly.
Notice that your console log shows that the value of cars is an object: {cars: Array(2)}.
You'll need to access that property from the result when setting the state:
useEffect(async () => {
const result = await initCarsInfo();
setCars(result.cars);
}, []);
You need to call like this:
useEffect(async () => {
const result = await initCarsInfo();
setCars(result.cars);
}, []);
