How do I display on frontend the result of "methods.name.call()" web3 - method

Question

I am developing a document verification system with ReactJS and solidity - smart contract. I want to display the result of my smart contract's get().call() method on the frontend, with a popup or even with a simple text.

My question is how can I do this? My .get().call() method seems to be working fine without any problem.

Check the image below, that's my code for now. I use console.log() to display the result.

If the console.log function displays your code in the console your codes work well, now you need to change the state by using this.setState function or useState hook to re-render the component. because in the ReactJS architecture, changing the state causes to change the interface. if your component is a class component:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

~~~

class YourComponentName extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();

    this.state = {
      result: '',
      ~~~
      ~~~
    };
  }

  onSubmitGet = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    cosnt hash = document.getElementById('hash').value;

    await this.state.contract.methods
      .get(hash)
      .call({ form: this.state.address })
      .then(res => this.setState({ result: res }))
  };

  ~~~

  render() {
    const { result } = this.state;

    return (
      <>
        <button onClick={this.onSubmitGet}>GET</button>
        <div>{result}</div>
      </>
    );
  }
};

The `~~~` means some other codes. actually, with using `setState` the `<div>{result}</div>` will change and show your result.
