I am fooling around with a loop and a ajax request in react I cannot seem to get working. Its suppose to loop over, set the object array and then push that object array to the state for later use.
The issue is that I am failing at promises in general. I am using this concept from the react docs to set the state of a component upon mounting to return an array of "links".
/** @jsx React.DOM */
var Temp = {
object: new Array()
}
var CommentsRow = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function(){
return {
href: ''
}
},
componentDidMount: function(){
var self = this
this.props.comments.slice(0, 5).map(function(comment){
var postUrl = window.Development.API_URL + 'posts/' + comment.post_id
$.get(postUrl, function(post){
Temp.object.push(post.post.title);
if (self.isMounted()) {
self.setState({
href: Temp.object
});
}
});
});
},
render: function() {
console.log(this.state)
}
});
The gist of whats going on above is:
I have a bunch of comments coming in and I take the first five. From there I loop over each comment object and grab the title, creating my api link. With that I want to say get me the post based on this link, assuming it works we then want to set a temp object, this will create "five arrays" each going from a count of 1,2,3,4 and finally 5 elements.
from there we take that and set the state. This part works, but because its a ajax request the state out side the request is empty even if I use the if (isMounted()){ ... }
option.
any idea how I can set the state doing something like this and still have access to it?
You either want async.js or promises to help manage multiple async actions. Async integrates a bit better with jQuery, so I'll show it with that.
componentDidMount: function(){
async.map(this.props.comments.slice(0, 5), function(comment, cb){
var postUrl = window.Development.API_URL + 'posts/' + comment.post_id;
$.get(postUrl, function(data){
cb(null, {title: data.post.title, href: ???});
});
}, function(err, posts){
// posts is an array of the {title,href} objects we made above
this.setState({posts: posts});
}.bind(this));
}
