could you please tell me how to render a list in react js. I do like this
https://plnkr.co/edit/X9Ov5roJtTSk9YhqYUdp?p=preview
class First extends React.Component {
constructor (props){
super(props);
}
render() {
const data =[{"name":"test1"},{"name":"test2"}];
const listItems = data.map((d) => <li key={d.name}>{d.name}</li>;
return (
<div>
hello
</div>
);
}
}
This question is related to
javascript
reactjs
react-router
Try this:
class First extends React.Component {
constructor (props){
super(props);
}
render() {
const data =[{"name":"test1"},{"name":"test2"}];
const listItems = data.map((d) => <li key={d.name}>{d.name}</li>;
return (
<div>
{listItems}
</div>
);
}
}

You can pass any JavaScript expression as children, by enclosing it within {}. For example, these expressions are equivalent:
<MyComponent>foo</MyComponent> <MyComponent>{'foo'}</MyComponent>
This is often useful for rendering a list of JSX expressions of arbitrary length. For example, this renders an HTML list:
function Item(props) { return <li>{props.message}</li>; } function TodoList() { const todos = ['finish doc', 'submit pr', 'nag dan to review']; return ( <ul> {todos.map((message) => <Item key={message} message={message} />)} </ul> ); }

Shubham's answer explains very well. This answer is addition to it as per to avoid some pitfalls and refactoring to a more readable syntax
Pitfall : There is common misconception in rendering array of objects especially if there is an update or delete action performed on data. Use case would be like deleting an item from table row. Sometimes when row which is expected to be deleted, does not get deleted and instead other row gets deleted.
To avoid this, use key
prop in root element which is looped over in JSX tree of .map()
. Also adding React's Fragment
will avoid adding another element in between of ul
and li
when rendered via calling method.
state = {
userData: [
{ id: '1', name: 'Joe', user_type: 'Developer' },
{ id: '2', name: 'Hill', user_type: 'Designer' }
]
};
deleteUser = id => {
// delete operation to remove item
};
renderItems = () => {
const data = this.state.userData;
const mapRows = data.map((item, index) => (
<Fragment key={item.id}>
<li>
{/* Passing unique value to 'key' prop, eases process for virtual DOM to remove specific element and update HTML tree */}
<span>Name : {item.name}</span>
<span>User Type: {item.user_type}</span>
<button onClick={() => this.deleteUser(item.id)}>
Delete User
</button>
</li>
</Fragment>
));
return mapRows;
};
render() {
return <ul>{this.renderItems()}</ul>;
}
Important : Decision to use which value should we pass to key
prop also matters as common way is to use index
parameter provided by .map()
.
TLDR; But there's a drawback to it and avoid it as much as possible and use any unique id
from data which is being iterated such as item.id
. There's a good article on this - https://medium.com/@robinpokorny/index-as-a-key-is-an-anti-pattern-e0349aece318
