从嵌套的JSON中获取属性

Question

I am using react to render data from properties in a json that is nested . I don't have a problem rendering the properties that are not nested such as 'name' , and 'id' , but when it comes to grabbing a nested prop such as place:location{...} etc, it says "TypeError: Cannot read property 'location' of undefined"

My json format looks as follows:

data = [ {
  "end_time": "2015-03-28T21:00:00-0700",
  "name": "Brkn Intl. Bay Area Season 2!",
  "place": {
    "name": "MVMNT Studio",
    "location": {
      "city": "Berkeley",
      "country": "United States",
      "latitude": 37.85381,
      "longitude": -122.27875,
      "state": "CA",
      "street": "2973 Sacramento St",
      "zip": "94702"
    },
    "id": "459771574082879"
  },
  "start_time": "2015-03-28T15:00:00-0700" }, ...]

This is my react code:

  class ResultBox extends Component {
    constructor(props){
    super(props);
    this.state = {
    posts: []
     };
  }
   componentDidMount() {
   axios.get('http://localhost:3001/api/events')
     .then(res => {
     let posts = res.data.map(obj => obj);
     this.setState({posts});
     console.log(posts);
    });

 }
  render() {
   return (
      this.state.posts.map(function(events){
        return <div className='result_box'>

       <p>{events.name}</p>
       <p>{events.place.location.city}</p> <----- This give me error!!!
       </div>
     })

  );
 }
}

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

It looks like not all events have property place defined. You can either warn about it on every component or just ignore and prevent undefined values to be rendered:

this.state.posts.map(events =>
  <div key={events.id} className='result_box'>
    <p>{events.name}</p>
    {events.place && <p>{events.place.location.city}</p>}
  </div>
)

Lodash's get method also can help you with this:

<p>{get(events, 'place.location.city', '')}</p>
