I'm a beginner on React Native and I am getting this error when getItemsCount is called.

This is the code for CartIcon.js:

import React, {useContext} from 'react';
import {View, Text, StyleSheet} from 'react-native';
import {CartContext} from './CartContext';
export function CartIcon({navigation}){
    const {getItemsCount} = useContext(CartContext);
    return(
        <View style = {styles.container}>
            <Text style = {styles.text}
                onPress = {() => { 
                navigation.navigate('Cart');
                }}
            >Cart ({getItemsCount()}) </Text>
        </View>
        );
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    container: {
        marginHorizontal: 10,
        backgroundColor: '#515b8c',
        height: 40,
        padding: 15,
        borderRadius: 38/2,
        alignItems: 'center',
        justifyContent: 'center',
    },
    text: {
        color: '#ccc',
        fontWeight: 'normal',
    },
});

This is the code for CartContext.js:

import React, {createContext, useState} from 'react';
import {getProduct} from './productService.js';
export const CartContext = createContext();
export function CartProvider(props){
    const [items, setItems] = useState([]);

    function addItemToCart(id){
        const product = getProduct(id);
        setItems((prevItems) => {
            const item = prevItems.find((item) => (item.id == id));
            if(!item){
                return [...prevItems, {
                    id,
                    qty: 1,
                    product,
                    totalPrice: product.price
                }];
            }
            else{
                return prevItems.map((item) => {
                    if(item.id == id){
                        item.qty  ;
                        item.totalPrice  = product.price;
                    }
                    return item;
                });
            }
        });
    }
    function getItemsCount(){
        return items.reduce((sum,item) => (sum item.qty),0);
    }
    function getTotalPrice(){
        return items.reduce((sum,item) => (sum item.totalPrice),0);
    }

    return(
        <CartContext.Provider
        value = {{items,setItems,getItemsCount,addItemToCart,getTotalPrice}}>
        {props.children} 
        </CartContext.Provider>
    );
}

CodePudding user response:

Taking a guess, but I would think that your component is outside of the provider, please check that your CartIcon is actually inside of the CartContext.Provider, otherwise it won't have access to it.

CodePudding user response:

please add this to CartContext.js:

const useCartContext = () => {   
 const context = useContext(CartContext);
 if (context === undefined) { 
  throw new Error('useCartContext must be used within a CartContextProvider');
 }
 return context;
};

and

export { CartProvider, useCartContext };

Go to App.jsx and wrap the whole app with

<CartProvider>
// your app
</CartProvider>

Then in CartIcon.js import useCartContext and replace

const {getItemsCount} = useContext(CartContext);

with

const { getItemsCount } = useCartContext();

Let me know what happens. The idea is to create a hook, which is nicer, but the issue here is that your component needs to be inside a provider for it to have access to the context.
