Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'concepts')-CodePudding

Solution: "data" from the Apollo query was not arriving on time for a check in the options property of the Autocomplete component, even though loading was complete. My final code for the Autocomplete component:

<Autocomplete
                    multiple
                    disabled={loadingConcepts}
                    value={narrowerConceptsV || null}
                    onChange={(event, newNarrowerConcepts) => {
                      setNarrowerConcepts(newNarrowerConcepts);
                    }}
the solution >>>>   options={!loadingConcepts && data ? data.concepts : []}
                    getOptionLabel={(option) => option.name}
                    renderInput={(params) => (
                      <MDInput {...params} variant="outlined" label="Narrower Concepts" />
                    )}
                  />

Original Post:

I am trying to pull a list of concept names from my neo4j auraDb. I had it working at one point but one I started working on my refetching, something went wrong and now I get an error no matter what I do. The error is occurring in the react component below.

The error messages:

<index.js:165 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'concepts')>
<react_devtools_backend.js:4026 The above error occurred in the AddConcept component:>
<index.js:165 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'concepts')>

The code in question (all in the same file).

The gql and apollo hook:

    import { gql, useMutation, useQuery } from "@apollo/client";
    
    const GET_CONCEPTS = gql`
        query GetConcepts {
          concepts {
            uid
            name
          }
        }
      `;

const { loadingConcepts, errorConcepts, data, refetch } = useQuery(GET_CONCEPTS, {
    fetchPolicy: "network-only",
  });

The react component. The error is being caused here by "data.concepts". :

                 <Autocomplete
                    multiple
                    disabled={loadingConcepts}
                    value={broaderConceptsV || null}
                    onChange={(event, newBroaderConcepts) => {
                      setBroaderConcepts(newBroaderConcepts);
                    }}
                    options={loadingConcepts ? [] : data.concepts}
                    getOptionLabel={(option) => option.name}
                    renderInput={(params) => (
                      <MDInput {...params} variant="outlined" label="Broader Concepts" />
                    )}
                 />

This autocomplete component is within an MUI form with a submit function. The console.log here accurately outputs the array if I put in any valid object for data.concepts above. The code for the submit function:

const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
createConcepts({
  variables: {
    uid: uuidv4(),
    name: nameRef.current.value,
    block: blockV,
    addedBy: user.uid,
  },
});
console.log(data.concepts);
refetch(data); };

CodePudding user response：

Maybe your data is not there yet.... try to wrap your component on a ternary operator like: { data ? <Autocomplete .../> : <p>Test></p>}

Maybe your data is there, but concepts not... so try to use the ternary operator when you try to access data.something
