When I try to run this code it gives me this error:
× TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘map’)
Why does it happen? How can I make it work?
import React from 'react';
import Grid from '@material-ui/core/Grid';
import Product from './Product/Product';
import useStyles from './styles';
const products = [
{id: 1, name: 'Shoes', description: 'Running Shoes.' },
{id: 2, name: 'MacBook', description: 'Apple MacBook.' },
];
const Products = ({ products }) => {
const classes = useStyles();
return (
<main className={classes.content}>
<div className={classes.toolbar} />
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product />
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
</main>
);
};
export default Products;

I had the same error and solved it by first asking if the array existed.
Example:
<Filter>
{ product.color?.map((c) => (
<FilterColor color = {c} key = {c} />
))};
</Filter>

There is a property «products» in your component. That variable has higher priority than the map you have outside, and your .map
is using it. I would recommend to rename one of them, to avoid variables with the same name.
Given the error, I would guess that that property wasn’t passed to the component.
Also, the parameter of the map lambda is «products» too. Change it to «product», or it will fail.

You are getting a blank array[]. For this, you are facing this error. You can solve this problem two ways:
{products && products.map((product) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
</Grid>
))};
Or
{products?.map((product) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
</Grid>
))};

The properties, products
, that you’re passing to your component (Products
) are undefined. The Map method is taking in account the products
that you have passed as properties is not the one that you have created outside the component itself.
If you want to map out the products
array that you created outside of your components then just change its name as the array has the same name as the properties passed. If you want to use the products
(from the property) then make sure that you’re passing the properties in the component.

It’s because you have taken the array «products» and the map item «products» by the same name. Change the map item to something else like «product»:
const products = [
{id: 1, name: 'Shoes', description: 'Running Shoes.' },
{id: 2, name: 'MacBook', description: 'Apple MacBook.' },
];
const Products = ({ products }) => {
const classes = useStyles();
return (
<main className={classes.content}>
<div className={classes.toolbar} />
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products.map((product) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
</main>
);
};

Write it in this way and the issue would be resolved:
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products ?.map((product) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
answered May 25, 2022 at 6:29
Use:
const Products = ({ products }) => {
const classes = useStyles();
return (
<main className={classes.content}>
<div className={classes.toolbar} />
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products && products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product />
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
</main>
);
};
Just add «products &&
«. This will check if the map is defined or not.

Step 1: Add loading into user page — use useState
{const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);}
Step 2: Set loading value to false at the end of async fetch function.
If you’re using the try-catch method, put this code line inside the try method:
{ setLoading(false)}
Step 3: Use a unary operation in the inside the render() part of the code
{ loading ? (
<h2>loading</h2>
) : {/* Enter code here */}}

Use:
{ product.color?.map((c) => (
<FilterColor color = {c} key = {c} />
))};
This would fix the issue, but why does it appear well behind the scene? React won’t update the state immediately. This concept is called scheduling, and that is why when you access products.map, products are an empty array.

Make sure to pass the products properties into the Product component. Change this:
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
to this:
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={products.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
Why? Because you’re mapping an object (products) into a JSX element in your case which is the <Product/> component, so using { product.id } you’re trying map an undefined object.
Then make sure the products property you’re trying to map out, is correctly passed into the parent component using the Products component.
answered Oct 13, 2021 at 9:36
At first, please check that products are exported. If yes, then change
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
to
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={products.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
Because here you map products as products, so you have to set the key like products.id
.

You had named each iteration of the map method with products, but you are using product to catch each instance of the iteration.
answered Dec 11, 2021 at 10:13
You should basically check the values received are undefined or not.
In Angular, you can use something like this: {{person?.name}}
.

You can replace the map part like this:
{(products|| []).map(product) => ( // Your code ))}

Make sure properties is not undefined.
typeof products.map() !== undefined

Sometimes, it gives an error when you haven’t used the variable of useState.
And I have made two other components. 1) Tour 2) Tours
const [tours, setTours ] = useState([]);
Now, I have used this tours variable in App.js file using Tours components.
App.js
I have used tours in the App.js file.
App.js
Now, I’m taking the tours variable for using the .map() function in the Tours.js file.
const Tours = ({ tours }) => {
/...
{tours.map()
.../
Tours.js
You have to check that both files have the same spelling. Otherwise, it gives an error and also doesn’t work the UI of that particular file.

You should try this:
{products.map((product) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product/>
</Grid>
))};

You had this kind of error because you don’t pass any information (props) inside the product component. So try this:
return (
<main className={classes.content}>
<div className={classes.toolbar} />
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product product={product} />
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
</main>
);
};

Use:
<Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}>
{products && products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product />
</Grid>
))};
</Grid>
Here changes in products && products.map() instead of products.map().
answered Jun 28, 2022 at 7:20
//Just use
{products && products.map((products) => (
<Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}>
<Product />
</Grid>
))};
// add "products &&" before the map method

Check INITIAL_STATE in the reducer.
You must specify an array in the ID object you are calling in the reducer.
Example:
const INTIAL_STATE = {
products: [],
product: { name: "", brand_name: "", prices: "", color: "", images: []},
error: "",
}
product.images.map(img => {
return(
<div key = {img.id} className = "img-itemm">
<img src = {img.image} alt = {img.image} />
</div>
)
})

The «Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘map’)» error occurs in JavaScript, whenever you try to use the array map
method on a variable that is undefined
. This can usually happen in React, whenever you need to loop through an array of elements and display them.
{posts.map(post => <Card details={post} />)}
Copied to clipboard!
However, the array on which you are executing the map
is undefined
. This means that JavaScript sees the following code, and throws the above error:
// Trying to run map on undefined
{undefined.map(post => <Card details={post} />)}
// Or simply try to run in your console
undefined.map()

Try to run the above code in your console, and you will end up with the very same error. This is a common pitfall that can be easily avoided using the following solution.

How to Fix the Error?
In order to fix the error, you need to make sure that the array is not undefined
. In order to do this, the simplest way is to use optional chaining.
{posts?.map(post => <Card details={post} />)}

You can use optional chaining by introducing a question mark after the variable. You can also use a logical AND, or use an if
check prior to rendering to prevent running into issues.
// Using logical AND
{posts && posts.map(post => <Card details={post} />)}
// Using an if check
if (!posts) {
return null
}
// Here post will not be undefined anymore
return (
<React.Fragment>
{posts.map(post => <Card details={post} />)}
</React.Fragment>
)

Problem:
Recently, we start developing a new web application project by React JS. But when we try to show the products list, we got this error. We will try to describe why this error occurs and how to fix it. The code is given below,
const products = [ {id: 1, name: 'Shoes', description: 'Running Shoes.' }, {id: 2, name: 'MacBook', description: 'Apple MacBook.' }, ]; const Products = ({ products }) => { const classes = useStyles(); return ( <main className={classes.content}> <div className={classes.toolbar} /> <Grid container justify="center" spacing={4}> {products.map((product) => ( <Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}> <Product/> </Grid> ))}; </Grid> </main> ); };
The code has thrown an error saying,
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')
Solution:
The problem arises because we’re attempting to map an undefined object (products) into a JSX element. In our case which is the <Product /> component, so using { product.id } we’re trying map an undefined object. Then make sure the products property we’re trying to map out, is correctly passed into the parent component using the Products component. Make sure to pass the products properties into the Product component.
Change this:
{products.map((products) => ( <Grid item key={product.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}> <Product/>
To this:
{products.map((products) => ( <Grid item key={products.id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4} lg={3}> <Product/>

I am learning to react and I came through this error can anyone please help me out.

This Error is appearing because when your component load on the first render then your data variable value is an empty array, Add the conditional check before applying the map on the array.
{this.state.data && this.state.data.list && this.state.data.list.map((e) => {
return <h1>{e.definition}</h1>;
})}

This error is when you are accessing properties/indices from something undefined
.
Use optional chaining to make sure you are only accessing properties of objects which themselves are defined.
{this.state.data.list?.map((e) => {
return <h1>{e.definition}</h1>;
})}
