How to show data fetched from API inside React array map

Question

I am trying to map an array of objects inside a React functional component. Here is a part of my object:

[{"id":1,"name":"Cordoba Park","start_date":"2020-03-19","address":null,"region":1,"country":2}] 

My problem is how to map this object into a table and fetch from the API the region and country by Id at the same time. I am using Redux hooks to fetch data from my API.

<tbody>
  {
    hotels.payload.map((hotel) => (
        <tr key={hotel.id}>
            <td>
                <div className="d-flex flex-column">
                    <h5>{hotel.name}</h5>
                    <p className="text-muted">{hotel.chain}</p>
                </div>
            </td>
            <td>{hotel.country}</td>
            <td>{hotel.region}</td>
            <td>
                <Badge className="p-2" variant={hotel.active ? 'success' : 'danger'}>
                    {hotel.active ? 'Activo' : 'Inactivo'}
                </Badge>
            </td>
            <td>
                <Button className="mx-1" variant="light">
                    <i className="fas fa-edit" />
                </Button>
                <Button className="mx-1" variant="light">
                    <i className="fas fa-trash" />
                </Button>
            </td>
        </tr>
    ));
 }
</tbody>

It's not a good idea to make an API call inside the render function. It's called each time any prop is updated and therefore you'll have too many api calls and a very bad performance.

You should reorganize your code to load the data first and then render the results

Ideally, I would try to get the data from the source in the first API call but I assume that it's not possible...

If not, in the redux action you should query for the hotel results one by one and update the store only once.

You can have a look at the axios library to make your call

There is a nice Axios.all() utility that lets you make all the API calls and wait for all results before calling the callback function. Axios All example
