React why is this simple array map function not returning anything?












1














I have a React component creating a bulleted list for items in an array (called activePath). The array is reporting correctly via console.log, and here is the format:



{device_id: "nlab5320a", port_id: "XGigabitEthernet0/0/3"}


There are six of these in the array. I did an Array.isArray just to confirm that this is a true array and it is. I am trying to map this array and output a bulleted list with the following:



activePath.map((item, i) => (
<li key={i}>{item.device_id}</li>
));


Here is the entire component ...



export default class ServicesInfo extends React.Component {
render() {
const { activePath } = this.props;
const runTable = activePath.map((item, i) => (
<li key={i}>{item.device_id}</li>
));

return (
<div>
<ul>{runTable}</ul>
</div>
);
}
}


The ServicesInfo is the child component. Here is the parent ...



   export default class InfoHolder extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props) {
}
render() {
return(
<div>
<p>Here is a listing of the nodes:</p>
<ServicesInfo />
</div>
)
}


A single bullet with no text is returning. I have been at this project for about 16 hours straight and think I am just missing something simple. Please help!

    Could you please include your entire component? The code currently in your question isn't enough to say what might be wrong.

    You have not passed any props to ServicesInfo in you code snippet above. Therefore this.props.activePath is always undefined inside your ServicesInfo component.

In the InfoHolder you haven't passed activePath as a prop to the ServicesInfo component. You have to pass the activePath like this: <ServicesInfo activePath={activePath} />

    Pass your array in the component.
    Also add constructor(props){
    super(props) {}
    to get props from other components.



    export default class InfoHolder extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
    super(props) {
    this.state={
    objectArray =[{device_id: "nlab5320a", port_id: "XGigabitEthernet0/0/3"}]

    render() {
    return(
    <div>
    <p>Here is a listing of the nodes:</p>

    )

    export default class ServicesInfo extends React.Component {
