How to check if element exists in map() React

Question

I have working code

const products = this.state.products.map((product, i) => 
        product.fields.company.fields.slug === this.props.match.params.slug ?
        <Suspense key={i} fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
            <ProductListItem id={i} key={i} product={product} />
        </Suspense>
        : null)

        return(
            <div className="partner-details" style={partnerD}>
                <div className="container-xl">
                    <Button type="button" className="btn btn-secondary" onClick={this.props.history.goBack}>
                        <i className="fa fa-arrow-left"></i>&nbsp; Get back
                    </Button>
                    <ul>
                        <div className="product-item">
                            {products}
                        </div>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>             
        )

But the problem is if product.fields.company.fields.slug (company.fields.slug) does not exist my code crashes. How can I add extra ternary operator to check if it product.fields.company exist before execute this product.fields.company.fields.slug === this.props.match.params.slug

Thanks!

Answer 1

In line 2 you can do: (product && product.fields && product.fields.company && product.fields.company.fields && product.fields.company.fields.slug && this.props && this.props.match && this.props.match.params && this.props.match.params.slug && product.fields.company.fields.slug === this.props.match.params.slug) ?

or use optional chaining .

Answer 2

Use optional-chaining ( Babel plugin )

product.fields?.company?.fields?.slug

Or make use of the || operator :

(((product.fields || {}).company || {}).fields || {}).slug

And consider wrapping your compoennt in an error boundary so your app won't crash when there's this kind of errors.

Answer 3

if your environment has support for optional chaining you can do this

product?.fields?.company?.fields?.slug === this.props.match.params.slug ?  .. : ..

otherwise you need to check that each field is truthy

product && product.fields && product.fields.company && product.fields.company.fields && product.fields.company.fields.slug === this.props.match.params.slug ? .. : ..
