React rendering string after function with logic/looping-CodePudding

Hi I want to render a string with looping logic behind it so I decided to put function that will return the string

function Leasing(){
  let {idLeasingExact} = useParams()

  const checkParam = () =>{
    //return(idLeasingExact)
    dropdownItems.map((item,index) => {
        if(idLeasingExact == item.path){
          console.log(idLeasingExact)
          console.log(item.path)
          console.log(item.title)
          return(
          item.title
        )
      }
    })
  }

  return(
    <div>
      <h1>
        {idLeasingExact ? checkParam() : "Leasing"
        }
      </h1>
    </div>
  )
}

export default Leasing;

here is the dropdown item

export const dropdownItems = [
  {
    title:'SMF',
    path:'1',
    cName:'dropdown-link'
  },
  {
    title:'BFI',
    path:'2',
    cName:'dropdown-link'

  },
  {
    title:'ADIRA',
    path:'3',
    cName:'dropdown-link'

  }
]

I use param and that param will be used in function checkParam to return the result

the checkParam() shouldve return the title(SMF BFI ADIRA) as the result

for example if it's leasing/1 it shouldve return the title of SMF

or if it's leasing/2 it shouldve return the title of BFI

but it return null, althought the console log on the browser shows the right item.title just like the example

help appreciated I'm stuck here thanks

CodePudding user response：

So you're not wanting to actually do a map. You gotta find the item on dropdownItems with path equals to idLeasingExact. Try changing your checkParam() function to something like this:

const checkParam = () => {
    const item = dropdownItems.find(x => x.path == idLeasingExact);
    if (item) return item.title;
    else {
        // do whatever you want if path is not found, for example:
        return 'No title found.'
    }
}

What your code is doing, is some sort of a conditional mapping and the function checkParam() is not actually returning something if you take a close look (the function inside the map does return the .title, not the checkParam()!)

CodePudding user response：

map() returns a list. checkParam() is not returning that list. Just add return to the function-

    const checkParam = () =>{
    return dropdownItems.map((item,index) => {
        if(idLeasingExact == item.path){
          return(
          item.title
        )
      }
    })
  }

Also, you can add your JSX logic in checkParam itself like this-

    const checkParam = () => {
    return dropdownItems.map((item, index) => {
      if (idLeasingExact == item.path) {
        return <h1>{item.title}</h1>
      } else {
        return <h2>{"Leasing"}</h2>
      }
    })
  }

  return <div>{checkParam()}</div>

This will give you more control based on idLeasingExact value (e.g. conditional styling)
