How to update an array using useState Hook
Question
I've tried to fetch data from a URL and get the result as JSON format, then store not of the object result in my state. but it always returns an empty array.
const [genres, setGenres] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
const getGenres = async () => {
fetch("https://quote-garden.herokuapp.com/api/v2/genres")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
for (const g of data.genres) {
setGenres((oldGenres) => [...oldGenres, g]);
}
});
};
getGenres();
}, []);
Here is the code: I don't see where the problem can be. ps: I deleted the import so the code is more readable
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
function App() {
const [quoteOfTheDay, setQuoteOfTheDay] = useState("");
const [authorOfQod, setAuthorOfQod] = useState("");
useEffect(() => {
const getQuoteOfTheDay = async () => {
fetch("https://quotes.rest/qod?language=en")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
const qod = data.contents.quotes[0].quote;
const author = data.contents.quotes[0].author;
setQuoteOfTheDay(qod);
setAuthorOfQod(author);
});
};
getQuoteOfTheDay();
}, []);
const [genres, setGenres] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
const getGenres = async () => {
fetch("https://quote-garden.herokuapp.com/api/v2/genres")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
for (const g of data.genres) {
setGenres((oldGenres) => [...oldGenres, g]);
}
});
console.log(genres); // genres always empty
};
getGenres();
}, []);
return (
<div className="app">
<Head quoteOfTheDay={quoteOfTheDay} author={authorOfQod} />
<div className="app__category">
<QuoteCategory genre="sport" />
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Thank you so much

I think it should work if you change
for (const g of data.genres) {
setGenres((oldGenres) => [...oldGenres, g]);
}
to
setGenres((oldGenres) => [...oldGenres, ...data.genres]);

Are you sure that
useEffect(() => {
const getGenres = async () => {
fetch("https://quote-garden.herokuapp.com/api/v2/genres")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
setGenres(data.genres);
});
};
getGenres();
}, []);
is not enough? :)
Up. If you began you can use async-await syntax till the end. It looks more neatly.
useEffect(() => {
const getGenres = async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://quote-garden.herokuapp.com/api/v2/genres");
const { genres } = await response.json();
setGenres(genres);
};
getGenres();
}, []);

you should put genresState as your dependency
const [genresState, setGenres] = useState([])
useEffect(() => {
const getGenres = async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://quote-garden.herokuapp.com/api/v2/genres");
const { genres } = await response.json();
setGenres(genres);
};
getGenres();
}, [genresState]);
