Let us say I currently have a ReactJS file where the code is like so:
class myFunction extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
data: {}
}
}
componentDidMount() {
fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()).then(data => {
this.setState({data: JSON_data})
}
render() {
return(
<h1>Name: {data.name}</h1>
<p>Birthday:{data.birthday} </p>
)
}
}
export default myFunction;
Inside my data variable, it will be a library with two key/values (1 for name and 1 for birthday). So an example might be:
data = {
"name": "Julia"
"birthday": "9/3",
}
The website when I run will correctly show something like:
Name: Julia
Birthday: 9/3
However, I want to add a function that changes the birthday string from '9/3' to something like 'March 9th'. I have the function, we will call birthdayFormatter(), already implemented, but how would I call the function in a way where in setState, it would change the '9/3' to 'March 9th' so in the render return, I should see:
Name: Julia
Birthday: March 9th
I have been trying to call functions insider the render() return but none of these have worked. How would I do something like this? Just note that this should be done with no button clicks whatsoever, just normally loading the page.
You want to create a new object data
with the new value for birthday
after calling birthdayFormatter()
, only then, store it in the state using setState()
. Like so:
let currState = {...this.state};
currState.data.birthday = birthdayFormatter(currState.data.birthday);
this.setState(currState);
However, you said you want it done on loadup, so just call it after fetching and before setting the state:
class myFunction extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
data: {}
}
}
componentDidMount() {
fetch('/api/data').then(r => r.json()).then(data => {
data.birthday = birthdayFormatter(data.birthday); //here
this.setState({data: JSON_data});
}
render() {
return(
<h1>Name: {this.state.data.name}</h1>
<p>Birthday:{this.state.data.birthday} </p>
)
}
}
export default myFunction;
