I have a react application, where I use the axios library, to get some values, and set them into an array of javascript objects in my state
componentDidMount(){
axios.get('http://localhost:8080/zoo/api/animals')
.then(res => this.setState({animals: res.data}))
}
Now I want to check if the objects, contains an Owner object, inside it, and filter out does that does,
First, I tried making a const, and then using the filter, to check if they contain the objects, and then set the state, but I can't save my values in a local variable
componentDidMount(){
const animals= [];
axios.get('http://localhost:8080/zoo/api/animals')
.then(res => animals=res.data)
console.log(animals) // logs empty array
console.log('mounted')
}
how can I make it so, that I can only get the animals that do NOT, have an owner object inside it?
Your animal array is empty in your second example because axios.get is asynchronous, what is in your then will be executed once the data is fetch, but the function will keep on going in the meantime.
To filter out your array, simply use filter right after fetching your data :
componentDidMount(){
axios.get('http://localhost:8080/zoo/api/animals')
.then(res => this.setState({animals: res.data.filter(animal => !animal.owner)}))
}
This function will filter out every animal object that does not have an owner property.
Working example :
const animals = [
{
name: 'Simba',
owner: {
some: 'stuff'
}
},
{
name: 1
}, ,
{
name: 2
}, ,
{
name: 3,
owner: {
some: 'stuff'
}
},
{
name: 'Bambi'
//status: 'dead'
}
]
console.log(animals.filter(animal => animal.owner))
EDIT: the answer was changed so that it only filters animals, that does not have an owner

I am new to react. I have faced one issue and not able to solve it. I am looking for your help.
I have an array which I have listed below. All data are looped and displayed in the view. From my current array, I want to update the count of dietry array[] which is inside the fruits array.
This is my useState
const [foods, setFood] = useState(fruits)
if I console.log(foods) it gives data as below.
fruits: [
{
id: 1,
name: 'Banana',
family: 'abc',
price: 2.99,
isEnabled: true,
dietary: [
{
id:1,
disabled: false,
group: null,
selected: false,
text: 'N/A',
value: '858090000',
count:0
},
{
id:2,
disabled: true,
group: null,
selected: true,
text: 'N/A',
value: '80000',
count:0
},
}
This data are looped in a view page and there is onClick handleIncrement method which should increment the count of dietary array of index 0 or index1 etc whichever index sent from handleIncremnt() method.
This is my method
const handleIncrementCount = (dietary_index) => {
setFood(foods =>
foods.map((food,index) =>
dietary_index === food[index] ? {...food, qty:food.count+1}:food
)
);
}
I am not able to increase the count, in my view page counts are 0 even if i click the increment button.It shows some error within map
Any help is highly appreciated
I ma looking for a solutions
There are a few issues with your handleIncrementCount function. Firstly, you are trying to use the dietary_id parameter to find the correct food object to update, but you are using it to access the index property of the food object instead. This will always return undefined, and so the function will not be able to find the correct object to update.
Secondly, you are trying to update the qty property of the food object, but this property does not exist in the food object. Instead, you need to update the count property of the correct dietary object inside the food object.
Here is how you can fix these issues:
const handleIncrementCount = (dietary_id) => {
setFood(foods =>
foods.map(food => {
// Find the dietary object with the correct id
const dietary = food.dietary.find(d => d.id === dietary_id);
// If the dietary object was found, increment its count
if (dietary) {
dietary.count += 1;
}
// Return the updated food object
return food;
})
);
};
With this change, the handleIncrementCount function should be able to find the correct food object and update the count property of the correct dietary object.
Note that this function is using the Array.prototype.map() and Array.prototype.find() methods to transform the foods array and find the correct dietary object to update. These methods are commonly used in JavaScript to transform and find elements in arrays. It is worth reading up on these methods and understanding how they work in order to better understand this code.
I am receiving a json response from an API call. I need to store its keys, and create an array of an object. I am intending to this array of an object is created dynamically no matter the keys of the response.
I've already got the keys like this:
const json_getAllKeys = data => {
const keys = data.reduce((keys, obj) => (
keys.concat(Object.keys(obj).filter(key => (
keys.indexOf(key) === -1))
)
), [])
return keys
}
That returned an array (using a sample json):
['name','username', 'email']
But I am trying to use that array to create an array of object that looks like this one
[
{
name: "name",
username: "username",
email: "Email",
}
];
I've been trying mapping the array, but got multiple objects because of the loop, and I need a single one to make it work.
keys.map(i=>({i:i}))
[
{ i: 'id' },
{ i: 'name' },
{ i: 'username' },
{ i: 'email' }
]
Any hint would be useful!
Thanks in advance :D
What you're looking for is Object.fromEntries, which is ECMA2019, I believe, so available in Node >=14 and will be provided as a polyfill if you employ babel.
I can't quite discern what your reduce should produce, but given the sample input, I would write
const input = ['name','username', 'email'];
const result = Object.fromEntries(input.map(name => ([name, name])));
// result == { name: 'name', username: 'username', email: 'email' }
You're definitely on the right track. One thing to remember is the map function will return the SAME number of output as input. So in your example, an array of 3 returns an array of 3 items.
For this reason, map alone is not going to give you what you want. You may be able to map => reduce it. However, here is a way using forEach instead. This isn't a strictly functional programming style solution, but is pretty straight forward and depending on use case, probably good enough.
let keys = ['name','username', 'email'] //you have this array
const obj = {}; // empty object to hold result
keys.forEach(i => {
obj[i] = i; // set the object as you want
})
console.log(obj); // log out the mutated object
// { name: 'name', username: 'username', email: 'email' }
I am having a hard time filtering through an array of objects based on a value in a nested array of objects. I have a chat application where a component renders a list of chats that a user has. I want to be able to filter through the chats by name when a user types into an input element.
Here is an example of the array or initial state :
const chats= [
{
id: "1",
isGroupChat: true,
users: [
{
id: "123",
name: "Billy Bob",
verified: false
},
{
id: "456",
name: "Superman",
verified: true
}
]
},
{
id: "2",
isGroupChat: true,
users: [
{
id: "193",
name: "Johhny Dang",
verified: false
},
{
id: "496",
name: "Batman",
verified: true
}
]
}
];
I want to be able to search by the Users names, and if the name exists in one of the objects (chats) have the whole object returned.
Here is what I have tried with no results
const handleSearch = (e) => {
const filtered = chats.map((chat) =>
chat.users.filter((user) => user.name.includes(e.target.value))
);
console.log(filtered);
// prints an empty array on every key press
};
const handleSearch = (e) => {
const filtered = chats.filter((chat) =>
chat.users.filter((user) => user.name.includes(e.target.value))
);
console.log(filtered);
// prints both objects (chats) on every keypress
};
Expected Results
If the input value is "bat" I would expect the chat with Id of 2 to be returned
[{
id: "2",
isGroupChat: true,
users: [
{
id: "193",
name: "Johhny Dang",
verified: false
},
{
id: "496",
name: "Batman",
verified: true
}
]
}]
The second approach seems a little closer to what you're trying to accomplish. There's two problems you may still need to tackle:
Is the search within the name case insensitive? If not, you're not handling that.
The function being used by a filter call needs to return a boolean value. Your outer filter is returning all results due to the inner filter returning the array itself and not a boolean expression. Javascript is converting it to a "truthy" result.
The following code should correct both of those issues:
const filtered = chats.filter((chat) => {
const searchValue = e.target.value.toLowerCase();
return chat.users.filter((user) => user.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchValue)).length > 0;
});
The toLowerCase() calls can be removed if you want case sensitivity. The .length > 0 verifies that the inner filter found at least one user with the substring and therefore returns the entire chat objects in the outer filter call.
If you want to get object id 2 when entering bat you should transform to lowercase
const handleSearch = (e) =>
chats.filter(chat =>
chat.users.filter(user => user.name.toLowerCase().includes(e.target.value)).length
);
try this it should work
const handleSearch2 = (e) => {
const filtered = chats.filter((chat) =>
chat.users.some((user) => user.name.includes(e))
);
console.log(filtered);
};
filter needs a predicate as argument, or, in other words, a function that returns a boolean; here some returns a boolean.
Using map as first iteration is wrong because map creates an array with the same number of elements of the array that's been applied to.
Going the easy route, you can do this.
It will loop first over all the chats and then in every chat it will check to see if the one of the users' username contains the username passed to the function. If so, the chat will be added to the filtered list.
Note, I am using toLowerCase() in order to make the search non case sensitive, you can remove it to make it case sensitive.
const handleSearch = (username) => {
var filtered = [];
chats.forEach((chat) => {
chat.users.forEach((user) => {
if (user.name.toLowerCase().includes(username.toLowerCase())) {
filtered.push(chat);
}
});
});
console.log(filtered);
return filtered;
}
handleSearch('bat');
Imagine that I have this kind of JSON object on my react state:
this.state={
parent:{
childs:[
child1:{
},
child2:{
},
child3:null,
(...)
]
}
}
to delete the child1 I did the following method:
deleteChild1 = (index,test) => {
const childs= [...this.state.parent.childs];
childs[index] = {
...childs[index],
child1: null
}
this.setState(prevState => ({
...prevState,
parent: {
...prevState.parent,
childs: [
...childs,
]
}
}))
}
This works with no problem, but imagine that I have 100 childs, I have to do 100 methods like this but instead putting the child1 to null I have to put the child100, child99, you get the idea.
My question is that is another way to put the variable null.
Thanks!
Currently your data structure isn't valid so its hard to write up a solution. If I try to create that exact state object it raises an exception Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : This is because you have an array written like an object. So first thing to do is adjust your state model to be valid syntax
this.state = {
parent: {
childs: {
child1: {
},
child2: {
},
child3: null,
...
}
}
}
Now, what you are describing / what you want to do is a dynamic key reference.
You can do this like so
const childTarget = 'child1'
childs = {
...childs,
[childTarget]: null
}
so to abstract that concept a little more. make it a function parameter
deleteChild = (childTarget) => {
then when you want to remove any particular child you can let them pass their value to this function
<Child onRemove={this.deleteChild} name={name} />
// name here would be like 'child1'
// assuming you are looping over state and rendering a child component for each item
and when the child calls this function
this.props.onRemove(this.props.name)
The answer is very simple, this would be my approach.
Create a function which updates your state with the expect result (removing that property).
If you wish to assign null that you can replace .filter() with a .map() solution. Typically if you are removing a piece of data it does not make sense to null it, but to remove it.
FYI your property childs is an array you have an object within, so you need a list of objects to fix this.
E.g.
[
{
name: "child1"
},
{
name: "child2"
},
{
name: "child3"
}
]
removeChild = (child) => {
const newChildList = this.state.parent.childs.filter(({name}) => name !== child);
this.setState(previousState => ({
...previousState,
parent: {
...previousState.parent,
childs: newChildList
}
}));
}
The key part here is that the data is being updated and overriding the original array. Because you have nested data structure we don’t want to delete any pre-existing data (hence the spreading).
Call the function however you want and if your childs array has an object with the property called name that matches the child function argument, it will be not be present on the next re-render.
Hope this helps.
Okay, I have this array pokemonColor=['name1', 'name2', 'name3']. How can I iterate trough this array and dynamically send http request so I can update state like this below? Because this what I am trying does not work, it creates a JavaScript object, but too many of them...
This is what I want:
this.state.pokemon:[
{name: name1, img: img1},
{name: name2, img: img2},
{name: name3, img: img3}
]
And this is how I am trying:
componentDidUpdate() {
// console.log(this.state.pokemonColor);
this.state.pokemonColor.forEach(pok => {
axios.get(`https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/${pok}/`).then(res => {
// console.log(res.data.sprites.front_shiny);
this.setState({
...this.state,
pokemon: {
name: res.data.name,
img: res.data.sprites.front_shiny
}
});
});
});
// console.log(this.state.pokemon);
}
First of all - this.state.pokemon = [...] mutates the state directly. Your app may crash or at least you will receive a long, red error in your console.
Secondly - you don't have to destructure state inside setState function.
Thirdly - with every axios get request, you are overwriting pokemon field in your state. I'd suggest you to keep your pokemons inside array.
this.setState((prevState) => ({
pokemon: [
...prevState.pokemon,
{
name: res.data.name,
img: res.data.sprites.front_shiny,
},
],
});
Then you will be able to access your pokemons by referencing to this.state.pokemons, which will be an array of objects.
