React JS Axios Response is not populating the array of objects returned by api. There are 20 objects returned by the response

enter image description herehope you are doing well. Im just using ReactJS and I utilized the axios request to get news from a third party API. Now, the API returned 20 different articles. So I tried to use the map function to map over and iterate over the 20 articles and to create 20 cards(I created a card component that the api info would populate into). There are 20 articles, which means that there should be 20 cards. However, only 1 card shows. Please see below for my code. Thanks!

import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";

import axios from "axios";

const TrumpNews = () => {
  const API_KEY = "0949535b152f400aa2a162ecc055021a";
  const \[news, setNews\] = useState(\[\]);

  console.log(news);

  useEffect(() => {

      "q=Trump&" +
      "from=2020-11-12&" +

      .then(async (res) => {
        setNews(\[res.data.articles\]);
      })

Solution

  • You're creating a two dimensional array when you set the result -

    setNews([res.data.articles]);

    articles is already an array, so you just need to set the state like this -

    setNews(res.data.articles);
