I am going through a react course and currently learning react's lifecycle method. So far, I have been able to call the API using componentDidMount and have set the state. However, I can't seem to get the card components to show the images in the cardlist div. I'm sure I've done it correctly (looping through the state and creating a Card component with the props).
import react, {Component} from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
import Card from './Card';
const api = ' https://deckofcardsapi.com/api/deck/';
class CardList extends Component {
state = {
deck: '',
drawn: []
}
componentDidMount = async() => {
let response = await axios.get(`${api}new/shuffle`);
this.setState({ deck: response.data })
}
getCards = async() => {
const deck_id = this.state.deck.deck_id;
let response = await axios.get(`${api}${deck_id}/draw/`);
let card = response.data.cards[0];
this.setState(st => ({
drawn: [
...st.drawn, {
id: card.code,
image: card.image,
name: `${card.value} of ${card.suit}`
}
]
}))
}
render(){
const cards = this.state.drawn.map(c => {
<Card image={c.image} key={c.id} name={c.name} />
})
return (
<div className="CardList">
<button onClick={this.getCards}>Get Cards</button>
{cards}
</div>
)
}
}
export default CardList;
import react, {Component} from 'react';
class Card extends Component {
render(){
return (
<img src={this.props.image} alt={this.props.name} />
)
}
}
export default Card;
import CardList from './CardList';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<CardList />
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Your map function:
const cards = this.state.drawn.map(c => {
<Card image={c.image} key={c.id} name={c.name} />
})
does not return anything. So the result of this code is an array of undefined
.
You have two options:
return
:const cards = this.state.drawn.map(c => {
return <Card image={c.image} key={c.id} name={c.name} />
})
const cards = this.state.drawn.map(c => (
<Card image={c.image} key={c.id} name={c.name} />
))
