How to get json object in botpress custom component?


I am calling an api from botpress which returns a list of objects which I need to display in my custom component, but I always get it as string InfaLinkPreview.jsx: "[object Object]" if I use console.log(JSON.parse(this.contentArray)) I get below exception

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1
at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at eval (eval at render (VM449 lite.bundle.js:10992), <anonymous>:1:18)

It seems I am missing something in the custom component.

  }
}

Note: Using botpress v11.9.5

Update with network response.. In this JSON session.response is correct but responses.text comes as [object Object]. So somehow while providing session.response to InfaLinkPreview component, this is going wrong.

Please help me figure out what is going wrong in infa-link-preview.js or InfaLinkPreview.jsx file.

Solution

  • Try below 2 changes and it should work

    {
        type: 'custom',
        module: 'custom-component',
        component: 'InfaLinkPreview',
        text: data.text,
        response: {
            data
        }
    }
    

    and

    contentArray = JSON.parse(this.props.response.data.session.response)
