Why map is returning [undefined]? and how can i solve that?-CodePudding

I want to filter of my snapshot but i sometimes i am getting [undefined], i dont want to return undefined inside, what is the issue?

return snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
      const jn = JSON.parse(doc.data().jsonData)
      const res=  jn.attributes.find(t => t.typet === tokenAttrs[0].name);
      if(res){
        return doc.data()
      }
    })

May it can't find the attribute that match the condition,cause the res is undefined. You should check it out.

CodePudding user response：

You can use the filter function this way:

return snapshot.docs.map(doc => {
    const jn = JSON.parse(doc.data().jsonData);
    const res = jn.attributes.find(t => t.typet === tokenAttrs[0].name);

    if (res) return doc.data();
}).filter(_ => _ !== undefined);

This will remove the undefined values from the array.

Many ways to solve it. One would be to use a foreach and push the new value to an new array. or you filter the empty values from your result before you send it back. like that:

const r = snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
      const jn = JSON.parse(doc.data().jsonData)
      const res=  jn.attributes.find(t => t.typet === tokenAttrs[0].name);
      if(res){
        return doc.data()
      } else {
        return null;
      }
    }) 
    
// then remove all empty values
return r.filter(n => n)

with forEach()

const res = []; 
snapshot.docs.forEach((doc) => {
  const jn = JSON.parse(doc.data().jsonData)
  const res=  jn.attributes.find(t => t.typet === tokenAttrs[0].name);
  if (res){
    res.push(doc.data());
  }
}) 

return res;

Array.prototype.find will search through the array and gets all the match data. If nothing is found, it returns undefined. You just need to create a logical OR expression. See code below:

return snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
      const jn = JSON.parse(doc.data().jsonData)
      // will now return null if there's no matched data.
      const res =  jn.attributes.find(t => t.typet === tokenAttrs[0].name) || null;
      if(res){
        // this will not return if `res` is null
        return doc.data()
      } else {
        // you could do `else` here if you want to do something if there's no matched data.
        // Do something
      }
    })
