I am trying to make a socket io simple chat app and the connection works fine. The problems comes with the const renderChat. The console.log is read and correctly printed (with the value in the textbox) also if I put a static text it is also displayed on the frontend, however, for some reason it doesn't print
{msg.data["message"]}
which has to print each value in an array. Also I am almost certain that the array is emptied every time and the useEffect doesn't work properly but I can't really test that yet. Would be glad if I get solution to both problems!
import './App.css';
import io from 'socket.io-client'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
const socket = io.connect("http://localhost:3001");
function App() {
const [message, setMessage] = useState("");
const [chat, setChat] = useState([]);
const sendMessage = () => {
socket.emit("send_message", { message });
};
const renderChat = () => {
return (
chat.forEach(msg => {
<h3>{msg.data["message"]}</h3>
console.log(msg.data)
})
)
}
useEffect(() => {
socket.on("receive_message", message => {
setChat([...chat, message]);
});
}, [socket])
return (
<div className="App">
<input placeholder="Message..." onChange={(event) => {
setMessage(event.target.value);}}
/>
<button onClick={sendMessage}>Send Message</button>
<h1>Message:</h1>
{renderChat()}
</div>
);
}
export default App;
EDIT:
Thanks to Ibrahim Abdallah, now the printing works. The only thing that doesn't work is as I feared, storing the information. Here is the piece of code
useEffect(() => {
socket.on("receive_message", message => {
setChat([...chat, message]);
});
}, [socket])
For some reason when I enter for example "text1" it saves it but then if I enter "text2" it overwrites the first value "text1".
modify your renderChat function to use map instead and the console log message should be before the return statement of the map function
const renderChat = () => {
return (
chat.map(msg => {
console.log(msg.data)
return (
<h3>{msg.data["message"]}</h3>
)
})
)
}
Please use map instead of forEach
const renderChat = () => {
return (
chat.map(msg => {
<h3>{msg.data["message"]}</h3>
console.log(msg.data)
})
)
}
Use map instead of forEach
map actually returns an array of the returned results.
forEach on the other hand does not return anything.
const renderChat = () => {
return (
chat.map(msg => {
console.log(msg.data);
return <h3>{msg.data["message"]}</h3>;
})
)
}

I am making MERN social media app.
I want to show all the friends of the current user in a list in SideBar.jsx .
Home.jsx (parent of Sidebar.jsx)
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Person } from "#material-ui/icons";
import Topbar from "../../components/topbar/Topbar";
import Sidebar from "../../components/sidebar/Sidebar";
import Feed from "../../components/feed/Feed";
import Rightbar from "../../components/rightbar/Rightbar";
import "./home.css";
export default function Home() {
return (
<>
<Topbar />
<div className="homeContainer">
<Sidebar />
<Feed />
<Rightbar />
</div>
</>
);
}
SideBar.jsx
import "./sidebar.css";
import React, { Component, useContext, useState } from "react";
...
import { axiosInstance } from "../../config";
export default function Sidebar() {
const { user } = useContext(AuthContext);
const [followings, setFollowings] = useState([]);
const followingsList = user.followings;
useEffect(() => {
const fetchFollowings = async () => {
followingsList.map(async (id) => {
try {
const theUser = await axiosInstance.get(`/users?userId=${id}`);
if (followings.includes(theUser.data)) {
} else {
setFollowings((prev) => [...prev, theUser.data]);
}
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
};
fetchFollowings();
}, [user]);
return (
<div className="sidebar">
.....
<ul className="sidebarFriendList">
{followings.map((u) => (
<CloseFriend key={u._id} user={u} />
))}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
);
}
For example, in this case, in the state "followings", there are 2 user objects.
So, the line
followings.map((u) => (...
should only show 2 entries.
However, the result is below.
As you can see, it is showing each friend twice.
I tired to check if a user object already exists in followings by doing
if (followings.includes(theUser.data)) {
} else {
setFollowings((prev) => [...prev, theUser.data]);
}
But this is not working.
How can I make sure that it only shows each user once?
I want it to be like this
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you
This is happening because it seems that your useEffect method is being fired two times (probably because you are using React.StrictMode) and you are setting the state inside the .map method (that is not good because you trigger a new render each time you call the setState).
What I would recommend you to do, is to remove the setState from the .map method and just set the new state after you format your data. So it would be something like this:
const newFollowings = followingsList.map(async (id) => {
try {
const theUser = await axiosInstance.get(`/users?userId=${id}`);
return theUser.data;
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
setFollowings(newFollowings);
Probably you would have to add a filtering to the array in case there are some errors (because on errors the mapped value would be undefined):
.filter(data => data);
When you are using the .map function with async/await Promise.all usually always does the trick. Instead of pushing the state on every iteration you collect the followers list and set the state when all your fetching is done. I did not test it yet, but I hope it works.
const followingsList = user.followings;
useEffect(() => {
const fetchFollowings = async () => {
const list = await Promise.all(followingsList.map(async (id) => (
await axios.get('/user?userId=' + id);
)));
setFollowers(list);
};
fetchFollowings();
}, [user]);
Note: let me know if it works, if not I'll do a little sandbox on my own
I'm trying to render multiple cards by pulling data from the API. But the return is an array, I don't understand why the map is not working.
const CharacterCard = () => {
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false)
const openModal = () => {
setShowModal(prev => !prev)
}
const characters = useRequestData([], `${BASE_URL}/characters`)
const renderCard = characters.map((character) => {
return (
<CardContainer key={character._id} imageUrl={character.imageUrl}/>
)
})
return (
<Container>
{renderCard}
<ModalScreen showModal={showModal} setShowModal={setShowModal} />
</Container>
)
}
export default CharacterCard
The hook is this
import { useEffect, useState } from "react"
import axios from "axios"
const useRequestData = (initialState, url) => {
const [data, setData] = useState(initialState)
useEffect(() => {
axios.get(url)
.then((res) => {
setData(res.data)
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err.data)
})
}, [url])
return (data)
}
export default useRequestData
console error image
requisition return image
API: https://disneyapi.dev/docs
Looks like the default value of the characters is undefined.
So something like (characters || []).map.. will help I think.
For deeper look at this you can debug useRequestData hook, as I can't see the source of that hook from you example
I am using firebase firestore and i fetched the data , everything is working fine but when i am passing it to some component only one item gets passed but log shows all the elements correctly.
I have just started learning react , any help is appreciated.
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { auth, provider, db } from './firebase';
import DataCard from './DataCard'
function Explore() {
const [equipmentList, setEquipments] = useState([]);
const fetchData = async () => {
const res = db.collection('Available');
const data = await res.get();
data.docs.forEach(item => {
setEquipments([...equipmentList, item.data()]);
})
}
useEffect(() => {
fetchData();
}, [])
equipmentList.forEach(item => {
//console.log(item.description);
})
const dataJSX =
<>
{
equipmentList.map(eq => (
<div key={eq.uid}>
{console.log(eq.equipment)}
<p>{eq.equipment}</p>
</div>
))
}
</>
return (
<>
{dataJSX}
</>
)
}
export default Explore
You have problems with setting fetched data into the state.
You need to call setEquipments once when data is prepared because you always erase it with an initial array plus an item from forEach.
The right code for setting equipment is
const fetchData = async () => {
const res = db.collection('Available');
const data = await res.get();
setEquipments(data.docs.map(item => item.data()))
}
I am currently working on a chat application and for some reason every time I pass in my array of messages as a prop to another component it passes in a number to the component instead of the message object. I have tried a lot of different methods of passing it in regarding using multiple components etc but it seems to still be passing in the number of elements for some reason. Any help is appreciated... code is below
Component receiving the props
import React, { useEffect } from 'react'
import Message from '../../Message/Message'
function Messages({ messages }) {
useEffect(() => {
console.log(messages)
}, [messages])
return (
<div>
test
</div>
)
}
export default Messages
// Import React dependencies.
import React, { useEffect, useState, } from "react";
// Import React dependencies.
import io from 'socket.io-client'
import axios from 'axios'
import Messages from './Messages/Messages'
import uuid from 'react-uuid'
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom'
// Import the Slate components and React plugin.
const ENDPOINT = 'http://localhost:5000/'
export const socket = io.connect(ENDPOINT)
const LiveChatFunction = ({ group_id }) => {
// Add the initial value when setting up our state.
const [message, setValue] = useState("")
const [user, setUser] = useState("")
const [groupId, setGroup] = useState('')
const [messages, setMessages] = useState([])
const [toLogin, userAuth] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
setGroup(group_id)
axios.post('http://localhost:5000/api/users/refresh_token', null, { withCredentials: true }).then(data => {
if (!data.data.accessToken) {
userAuth(true)
}
})
axios.get('http://localhost:5000/api/users/userInfo', { withCredentials: true }).then(data => {
setUser(data.data.user)
})
socket.on(`message-${group_id}`, data => {
setMessages(messages.push(data))
});
axios.get(`http://localhost:5000/live/${group_id}`).then(x => {
console.log(x.data)
})
}, [group_id, messages])
function setClick() {
const data = {
messageId: uuid(),
user,
groupId,
message
}
socket.emit('message', data)
}
if (toLogin) {
return (
<Redirect to="/login" />
)
}
return (
<div>
<input placeholder="message" type="text" onChange={value => {
setValue(value.target.value)
socket.emit('typing-message', { username: user, time: new Date() })
}} />
<button onClick={setClick}>Submit</button>
<Messages messages={messages} />
</div>
)
}
export default LiveChatFunction;
I have added some comments of what I think you can change:
useEffect(() => {
const recieveFunction = (data) => {
//using callback so no dependency on messages
setMessages((messages) => messages.push(data));
};
async function init() {
//next line is pointless, this runs when group_id
// has changed so something must have set it
// setGroup(group_id);
await axios //not sure if this should be done before listening to socket
.post(
'http://localhost:5000/api/users/refresh_token',
null,
{ withCredentials: true }
)
.then((data) => {
if (!data.data.accessToken) {
userAuth(true);
}
});
await axios
.get('http://localhost:5000/api/users/userInfo', {
withCredentials: true,
})
.then((data) => {
setUser(data.data.user);
});
//start listening to socket after user info is set
socket.on(`message-${group_id}`, recieveFunction);
axios
.get(`http://localhost:5000/live/${group_id}`)
.then((x) => {
console.log(x.data);
});
}
init();
//returning cleanup function, guessing socket.off exists
return () =>
socket.off(`message-${group_id}`, recieveFunction);
}, [group_id]); //no messages dependencies
console.log('messages are now:',messages);
If messages is still not set correctly then can you log it
So I think I found your problem:
In your useEffect hook, you're setting messages to the wrong thing.
socket.on(`message-${group_id}`, data => {
setMessages(messages.push(data))
});
An example:
const m = [].push();
console.log(m);
// m === 0
const n = [].push({});
console.log(n);
// n === 1
As you can see this is the index.
So what you need is:
socket.on(`message-${group_id}`, data => {
messages.push(data);
setMessages(messages);
});
This will set messages to the array of messages.
Hi guys i make a search filter in react for an array i get via my node server, but i got this error:
×
TypeError: props.filteredCharacters.map is not a function in components/CharacterList/index.js:6
Here the 2 files:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import SearchBox from '../SearchBox'
import CharacterList from '../CharacterList'
const SearchDisney = () => {
const [inputs, setInputs] = useState('');
const [btn, setBtn] = useState(false);
const [apiResponse, setApiResponse] = useState([]);
const [searchCharacter, setSearchCharacter] = useState('');
useEffect(() => {
callAPI();
if (inputs.length > 2) {
setBtn(true)
} else if (btn) {
setBtn(false)
}
}, [inputs, btn])
const callAPI = () => {
fetch("http://localhost:9000/disneyCharacter")
.then(res => res.json())
.then(res => setApiResponse(res))
}
const handleInput = (e) => {
setSearchCharacter(e.target.value)
}
const filteredCharacters = () => {
apiResponse.filter((character) => {
return character.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchCharacter.toLowerCase())
})
}
return (
<div className="search-container">
<h1>Personnage Infos</h1>
<SearchBox handleInput={handleInput} />
<CharacterList filteredCharacters={filteredCharacters} />
</div>
)
}
export default React.memo(SearchDisney)
And the CharacterList:
import React from 'react'
import Character from '../Character'
const CharacterList = (props) => {
const characters = props.filteredCharacters.map((character, id) => {
return <Character key={id} name={character.name} username={character.username} yearCreation={character.yearCreation}/>
})
return (
<div>
{ characters }
</div>
)
}
export default CharacterList
i can display the array in the first file but now i want to make search filter and got this error, any advice to get ride of this error?
Looks like there are 2 things you need to fix here:
on the SearchDisney component, you are not returning anything from the filteredCharacters function. Here is the fix:
const filteredCharacters = () => {
//need to return this
return apiResponse.filter((character) => {
return character.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchCharacter.toLowerCase())
})
}
Addtionally, in order for CharacterList to recieve the filteredCharacters prop as an array - you have to call the filteredCharacters function which returns this array, for example, like this:
<div className="search-container">
<h1>Personnage Infos</h1>
<SearchBox handleInput={handleInput} />
//call the function here:
<CharacterList filteredCharacters={filteredCharacters()} />
</div>
