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