无法读取 Gatsby、Contentful 和 Graphql 中未定义图像的属性？

Question

I am trying to display an image stored on Contentful using Graphql within my Gatsby project.

I am using gatsby-plugin-image as gatsby-image appears to be depreciated. So far I have followed documentation online that seems to render results however when I attempt it on my local machine I am thrown an error message.

My code is as follows:

import * as React from "react"
import { Link, graphql } from "gatsby"
import { StaticImage } from "gatsby-plugin-image"
// import {BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Layout from "../components/layout"
import Seo from "../components/seo"
import Navbar from "../components/Navbar"
import Img from 'gatsby-plugin-image'

function App( {data} ) {
  return (
    <>

    <Layout>
     <Img fluid={data.allContentfulHeroImage.edges.node.heroImage.fluid}></Img>
     </Layout>

    </>
  )
}

export default App;

export const query = graphql 
`query MyQuery {
  allContentfulHeroImage {
    edges {
      node {
        heroImage {
          fluid (maxWidth: 2000) {
                        ...GatsbyContentfulFluid
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}`

The error message reads as follows:

Cannot read property 'heroImage' of undefined

The code compiles file generating a server however throws a runtime error.

When investigating the Graphql query, it seems to be returning everything okay.

{
  "data": {
    "allContentfulHeroImage": {
      "edges": [
        {
          "node": {

        }

    }
  },

I'm very much uncertain as to what the issue is here, I have looked elsewhere and other examples seem fine, is it something to do with the gatsby-plugin-image perhaps?

Any help would be great as this seems to be quite a niche issue.

Thanks

Answer 1

edges is an array, and arrays do not have a node property, so edges.node evaluates to undefined . You then attempt to access heroImage on undefined , which throws the error.

Instead consider using edges.map , for example:

edges.map(({ node }, index) => <Img key={index} {...node.heroImage} />)

For what it's worth, you can change your query to simplify this song and dance a fair bit:

export const query = graphql`
  {
    heroImages: allContentfulHeroImage {
      nodes {
        heroImage {
          fluid (maxWidth: 2000) {
            ...GatsbyContentfulFluid
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
`

Then you'd be able to map over data.heroImages.nodes , and instead of destructuring node from each item, you can use it as-is or destructure the properties you need on it. Eg:

data.heroImages.nodes.map(({ heroImage }, index) =>
  <Img key={index} {...heroImage} />
)
