Unable to run unique iterations for individual objects

I'm trying to present 25 entries (name, company, skill, etc.) on the page and am having trouble getting the unique information.

i.e. I only see the first entry over and over. I'm not sure how to reiterate new information since it's only going to be response.data.students[0].

This is what my code looks like now, where the mapping is:

export default function StudentList() {
  let [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);

  let [students, setStudent] = useState(" ");
  function doInfo(response) {
    console.log(response.data);
    setStudent(response.data.students);
    setLoaded(true);
  }

  if (loaded) {
    return (
      <div className="StudentList">
        <div className="row">
          <div className="col">
            {students.map(function (data, index) {
              return <StudentInfo data={data} key={index} />;
            })}
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  } else {
    let url = "https://api.hatchways.io/assessment/students";
    axios.get(url).then(doInfo);
  }
}

Here is the coding for the StudentInfo component for reference:

export default function StudentInfo() {
  const [info, addInfo] = useState(" ");

  function setInfo(response) {
    addInfo({
      number: response.data.students[0].id,
      first: response.data.students[0].firstName,
      last: response.data.students[0].lastName,
      email: response.data.students[0].email,
      company: response.data.students[0].company,
      skill: response.data.students[0].skill,
      average: response.data.students[0].grades[0],
    });
  }

  let url = "https://api.hatchways.io/assessment/students";
  axios.get(url).then(setInfo);

  return (
    <div className="StudentInfo">
      <h1>{info.number}.</h1>
      <h2>
        Name: {info.first} {info.last}
      </h2>
      <h2>Email: {info.email}</h2>
      <h2>Company: {info.company}</h2>
      <h2>Skill: {info.skill}</h2>
      <h2>Average: {info.average}</h2>
    </div>
  );
}

Can someone help me code it so it runs through all 25 entries, not just the first one?

CodePudding user response:

You need to set the key to render children by map function.

Otherwise, Reactjs will not know which item should exactly be updated.

           {students.map(function (data, index) {
              return <StudentInfo data={data} key={index} />;
            })}

CodePudding user response:

Try something like this:

  • set the array into the state
  • useEffect(..., []) to trigger the data loading (only once).
  • set key={id} on the mapped array expansion (or react complains for good reasons that don't apply in this particular case).
function StudentList() {
  const [students, setStudents] = useState(null);
 
  useEffect(() => {
    const url = "https://api.hatchways.io/assessment/students";
    axios.get(url).then(({ data: { students } }) => setStudents(students));
  }, []);

  if (!students) {
     return ( <div>loading...</div> );
  }

  return (
    <div className="StudentList">
      <div className="row">
        <div className="col">
          { students.map(student => ( <StudentInfo key={student.id} info={student} /> )) }
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

and StudentInfo doesn't need to reload anything, just format the data that was already fetched

export default function StudentInfo({ props: { info } }) {
  return (
    <div className="StudentInfo">
      <h1>{info.number}.</h1>
      <h2>
        Name: {info.first} {info.last}
      </h2>
      <h2>Email: {info.email}</h2>
      <h2>Company: {info.company}</h2>
      <h2>Skill: {info.skill}</h2>
      <h2>Average: {info.average}</h2>
    </div>
  );
}
