Loop inside React JSX

Question

I m trying to do something like the following in React JSX  where ObjectRow is a separate component    lt tbody gt      for  var i 0  i  lt  numrows  i               lt ObjectRow  gt          lt  tbody gt   I realize and understand why this isn t valid JSX  since JSX maps to function calls  However  coming from template land and being new to JSX  I am unsure how I would achieve the above  adding a component multiple times

Here is a sample from React doc JavaScript Expressions as Children  function Item props      return  lt li gt  props message  lt  li gt      function TodoList       const todos     finish doc    submit pr    nag dan to review      return        lt ul gt         todos map  message    gt   lt Item key  message  message  message    gt         lt  ul gt           as your case  I suggest writing like this   function render       return        lt tbody gt         numrows map  roe  index    gt   lt ObjectRow key  index    gt         lt  tbody gt           Please notice the Key is very important  because React use Key to differ data in array

There are multiple ways to go about doing this  JSX eventually gets compiled to JavaScript  so as long as you re writing valid JavaScript  you ll be good   My answer aims to consolidate all the wonderful ways already presented here   If you do not have an array of object  simply the number of rows   within the return block  creating an Array and using Array prototype map   render       return        lt tbody gt         Array numrows  fill null  map  value  index    gt             lt ObjectRow key  index  gt                 lt  tbody gt           outside the return block  simply use a normal JavaScript for-loop   render       let rows         for  let i   0  i  lt  numrows  i          rows push  lt ObjectRow key  i   gt           return        lt tbody gt  rows  lt  tbody gt           immediately invoked function expression   render       return        lt tbody gt              gt            let rows               for  let i   0  i  lt  numrows  i                rows push  lt ObjectRow key  i   gt                      return rows                lt  tbody gt           If you have an array of objects  within the return block   map   each object to a  lt ObjectRow gt  component   render       return        lt tbody gt         objectRows map  row  index    gt             lt ObjectRow key  index  data  row    gt                 lt  tbody gt           outside the return block  simply use a normal JavaScript for-loop   render       let rows         for  let i   0  i  lt  objectRows length  i          rows push  lt ObjectRow key  i  data  objectRows i     gt           return        lt tbody gt  rows  lt  tbody gt           immediately invoked function expression   render       return        lt tbody gt               gt            const rows               for  let i   0  i  lt  objectRows length  i                rows push  lt ObjectRow key  i  data  objectRows i     gt                      return rows                   lt  tbody gt

With time  the language is becoming more mature  and we often stumble upon common problems like this  The problem is to loop a Component  n  times       new Array n   map  item  index    gt   lt MyComponent key  index    gt     where  n -is the number of times you want to loop  item will be undefined and index will be as usual  Also  ESLint discourages using an array index as key  But you have the advantage of not requiring to initialize the array before and most importantly avoiding the for loop    To avoid the inconvenience of item as undefined you can use an    so that it will be ignored when linting and won t throw any linting error  such as      new Array n   map     index    gt   lt MyComponent key  index    gt

You can also use a self-invoking function        return  lt tbody gt                    gt                  let row                    for  var i   0  i  lt  numrows  i                        row push  lt ObjectRow key  i    gt                                 return row                            lt  tbody gt

You can only write a JavaScript expression in a JSX element  so a for loop cannot work  You can convert the element into an array first and use the map function to render it   lt tbody gt           new Array numrows   map  e    gt              lt ObjectRow  gt           lt  tbody gt

Having the JSX content in the map can be clunky syntax  Instead you can do this  const ObjectRow               gt   lt tr key    gt     lt  tr gt   const TableBody      objects      gt      return  lt tbody gt  objects map ObjectRow   lt  tbody gt      This is shorthand for   objects map object   gt  ObjectRow object    If ObjectRow is set up to take the same keys that are in the object  this will work great  Note - You may need to set the key prop when the ObjectRow is rendered  It can t be passed in through the function call   More notes - I ve run into a few places where this technique is a bad idea  For example  it doesn t go through the normal create component path and won t default prop values for example  so do beware  Still  it s handy to know about and is useful sometimes

If numrows is an array  as the other answers  the best way is the map method  If it s not and you only access it from JSX  you can also use this ES6 method   lt tbody gt                  Array numrows  fill 0   map  value index   gt  lt ObjectRow key  index    gt          lt  tbody gt

Using map in React are best practices for iterating over an array  To prevent some errors with ES6  the syntax map is used like this in React   lt tbody gt       items map  item  index    gt   lt ObjectRow key  index  name  item name    gt     lt  tbody gt   Here you call a Component   lt ObjectRow  gt   so you don t need to put parenthesis after the arrow  But you can be make this too   items map  item  index    gt         lt ObjectRow key  index  name  item name    gt       Or   items map  item  index    gt           Here you can log  item      return            lt ObjectRow key  index  name  item name    gt             I say that because if you put a bracket  quot    quot  after the arrow React will not throw an error and will display a whitelist

If you opt to convert this inside return    of render method  easiest option would be using map    method  Map your array into JSX syntax using map   function  as shown below  ES6 syntax is used      Inside parent component    lt tbody gt       objectArray map object   gt   lt ObjectRow key  object id  object  object value  gt      lt  tbody gt    Please note the key attribute added to your child component  If you didn t provide a key attribute  you can see the following warning on your console      Warning  Each child in an array or iterator should have   a unique  key  prop    Note  One common mistake people do is using index as key when iterating  using index of the element as a key is an anti-pattern and you can read more about it here  In short  if it s NOT a static list never use index as key     Now at the ObjectRow component  you can access the object from its properties   Inside ObjectRow component  const   object     this props  or   const object   this props object  This should fetch you the object you passed from parent component to the variable object in ObjectRow component  Now you can spit out the values in that object according to your purpose     References     map   method in Javascript  ECMA Script 6 or ES6

Think of it like you re just calling JavaScript functions  You can t use a for loop where the arguments to a function call would go  return tbody      for  var i   0  i  lt  numrows  i              ObjectRow             See how the function tbody is being passed a for loop as an argument     leading to a syntax error  But you can make an array  and then pass that in as an argument  var rows       for  var i   0  i  lt  numrows  i          rows push ObjectRow       return tbody rows     You can basically use the same structure when working with JSX  var rows       for  var i   0  i  lt  numrows  i             note  we are adding a key prop here to allow react to uniquely identify each        element in this array  see  https   reactjs org docs lists-and-keys html     rows push  lt ObjectRow key  i    gt      return  lt tbody gt  rows  lt  tbody gt    Incidentally  my JavaScript example is almost exactly what that example of JSX transforms into  Play around with Babel REPL to get a feel for how JSX works

jacefarm If I understand right you can use this code    lt tbody gt        new Array numrows  fill  lt ObjectRow  gt       lt  tbody gt    Either you can use this code    lt tbody gt       new Array numrows  fill     map  item  ind    gt   lt ObjectRow key  ind   gt       lt  tbody gt    And this    lt tbody gt      new Array numrows  fill ObjectRow  map  Item  ind    gt   lt Item key  ind   gt    lt  tbody gt

Use    around JavaScript code within a JSX block to get it to properly perform whatever JavaScript action you are trying to do   lt tr gt     lt td gt       data map  item  index    gt           item             lt  td gt   lt  tr gt   This is kind of vague  but you can swap out data for any array   This will give you a table row and table item for each item  If you have more than just one thing in each node of the array  you will want to target that specifically by doing something like this   lt td gt  item someProperty  lt  td gt   In which case  you will want to surround it with a different td and arrange the previous example differently

There are many solutions posted out there in terms of iterating an array and generating JSX elements  All of them are good  but all of them used an index directly in a loop  We are recommended to use unique id from data as a key  but when we do not have a unique id from each object in the array we will use index as a key  but you are not recommended to use an index as a key directly  One more thing why we go for  map  but why not  foEach because  map returns a new array  There are different ways of doing  map these days  Below different versions of using  map illustrates in detail about how to use a unique key and how to use  map for looping JSX elements   map without return when returning single a JSX element and unique id from data as a key version  const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map object   gt   lt ObjectRow obj  object  key  object id    gt     lt  tbody gt    map without return when returning multiple JSX elements and unique id from data as a key version const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map object   gt             lt div key  object id  gt               lt ObjectRow obj  object    gt           lt  div gt           lt  tbody gt    map without return when returning a single JSX element and index as a key version  const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map  object  index    gt   lt ObjectRow obj  object  key   Key  index      gt     lt  tbody gt    map without return when returning multiple JSX elements and index as a key version  const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map  object  index    gt             lt div key   Key  index    gt               lt ObjectRow obj  object    gt           lt  div gt           lt  tbody gt    map with return when returning multiple JSX elements and index as a key version  const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map  object  index    gt            return                lt div key   Key  index    gt                   lt ObjectRow obj  object    gt               lt  div gt                     lt  tbody gt    map with return when returning multiple JSX elements and unique id from data as a key version  const  objects    this state    lt tbody gt       objects map object   gt            return                lt div key  object id  gt                   lt ObjectRow obj  object    gt               lt  div gt                     lt  tbody gt   The other way is render       const  objects    this state    const objectItems   objects map object   gt           return               lt div key  object id  gt                  lt ObjectRow obj  object    gt              lt  div gt                  return         lt div gt             lt tbody gt                 objectItems             lt  tbody gt         lt  div gt

Or you can also prepare an array of objects and map it to a function to have the desired output  I prefer this  because it helps me to maintain the good practice of coding with no logic inside the return of render    render     const mapItem       for let i  0 i lt item length i       mapItem push i   const singleItem   gt   item  index        item the single item in the array      the index of the item in the array     can implement any logic here  return      lt ObjectRow  gt         return      lt tbody gt  mapItem map singleItem   lt  tbody gt

React elements are simple JS  so you can follow the rule of javascript  So you can use a for loop in javascript like this -   lt tbody gt      for  var i 0  i  lt  numrows  i               lt ObjectRow  gt          lt  tbody gt    But the valid and best way is to use the  map function  Shown below -   lt tbody gt       listObject map function listObject  i           return  lt ObjectRow key  i    gt            lt  tbody gt    Here  one thing is necessary  to define the key  Otherwise it will throw a warning like this -     warning js 36 Warning  Each child in an array or iterator should have   a unique  key  prop  Check the render method of ComponentName  See    link  for more information

Your JSX code will compile into pure JavaScript code  any tags will be replaced by ReactElement objects  In JavaScript  you cannot call a function multiple times to collect their returned variables   It is illegal  the only way is to use an array to store the function returned variables   Or you can use Array prototype map which is available since JavaScript ES5 to handle this situation   Maybe we can write other compiler to recreate a new JSX syntax to implement a repeat function just like Angular s ng-repeat

To loop for a number of times and return  you can achieve it with the help of from and map   lt tbody gt          Array from Array i   map      gt   lt ObjectRow   gt        lt  tbody gt   where i   number of times  If you want to assign unique key IDs into the rendered components  you can use React Children toArray as proposed in the React documentation React Children toArray Returns the children opaque data structure as a flat array with keys assigned to each child  Useful if you want to manipulate collections of children in your render methods  especially if you want to reorder or slice this props children before passing it down   Note  React Children toArray   changes keys to preserve the semantics of nested arrays when flattening lists of children  That is  toArray prefixes each key in the returned array so that each element   s key is scoped to the input array containing it    lt tbody gt          React Children toArray        Array from Array i   map      gt   lt ObjectRow   gt              lt  tbody gt

It s funny how people give  quot creative quot  answers using a newer syntax or uncommon ways to create an array  In my experience working with JSX  I have seen these tricks only used by inexperienced React programmers  The simpler the solution - the better it is for future maintainers  And since React is a web framework  usually this type of  table  data comes from the API  Therefore  the simplest and most practical way would be  const tableRows         id  1  title   row1         id  2  title   row2         id  3  title   row3         Data from the API  domain-driven names would be better of course       return      tableRows map row   gt   lt ObjectRow key  row id      row    gt

Using Array map function is a very common way to loop through an Array of elements and create components according to them in React  this is a great way to do a loop which is a pretty efficient and tidy way to do your loops in JSX  It s not the only way to do it  but the preferred way   Also  don t forget having a unique Key for each iteration as required  Map function creates a unique index from 0 but it s not recommended using the produced index but if your value is unique or if there is a unique key  you can use them   lt tbody gt     numrows map x  gt   lt ObjectRow key  x id    gt     lt  tbody gt   Also  few lines from MDN if you not familiar with map function on Array   map calls a provided callback function once for each element in an array  in order  and constructs a new array from the results  callback is invoked only for indexes of the array which have assigned values  including undefined  It is not called for missing elements of the array  that is  indexes that have never been set  which have been deleted or which have never been assigned a value   callback is invoked with three arguments  the value of the element  the index of the element  and the Array object being traversed  If a thisArg parameter is provided to the map  it will be used as callback s this value  Otherwise  the value undefined will be used as its this value  This value ultimately observable by the callback is determined according to the usual rules for determining the this seen by a function  map does not mutate the array on which it is called  although callback  if invoked  may do so
