when this.props is passed to the child component, it becomes undefined










0















My React project component structure is very simple: App >> SearchResults >> TrackList.
To test, I output the value of the data in each component.
In the App.js file, I used this.state to define an array of objects called searchResults.



class App extends React.Component 
constructor(props)
super(props);
this.state =
searchResults: [

name: 'name-1',
artist: 'artist-1',
alblum: 'alblum-1',
id: 101
,

name: 'name-2',
artist: 'artist-2',
alblum: 'alblum-2',
id: 202

]


render()
console.log('Here is App.js', this.state.searchResults);
return (
<div>
<h1>Ja<span className="highlight">mmm</span>ing</h1>
<div className="App">
<SearchBar />
<div className="App-playlist">
<SearchResults searchResults=this.state.searchResults />
<Playlist />
</div>
</div>
</div>
);



export default App;


In the SearchResults.js file, I used tracks=this.props.searchResults to pass the data to the child component.



class SearchResults extends React.Component 
render()
console.log('Here is SearchResults.js', this.props searchResults);
return (
<div className="SearchResults">
<h2>Results</h2>
<TrackList tracks=this.props.searchResults />
</div>
);



export default SearchResults;


In the TrackList.js file, I output the data from parent component.



class TrackList extends React.Component 

render()
console.log('Here is TrackList.js', this.props.tracks);
return (
<div className="TrackList">
this.props.tracks.map(track => <Track key=track.id track=track />)
</div>
);



export default TrackList


But, strange things happen, the console prints the data twice, showing the normal values the first time, and undefined the second time.
Because of this, I cannot use the.map() function for this data.
Why did this happen, and how to fix it?

  • By any chance, is the trackList component used somewhere else too??

  • It's pretty tough to tell from your code what's going on. Can you post a codesandbox (or similar) link? From what I can tell, you shouldn't be having issues.

  • @ShubhamKhatri My god!!! You're a genius. You know how long I've been testing this question, four hours!!! I did use <TrackList /> in another component and totally forgot about it
