How to map local array in React card component using Typescript?

I have Interfaces like this:

interface INewsProps {
  newsType: string;
  data: INewsContentProps[];
}

interface INewsContentProps {
  title: string;
  newsContent: string;
}

My array is this:

  export const newsList: INewsContentProps[] = [
  {
    title: 'Lorem ipsum',
    newsContent: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis hendrerit dui ac accumsan consequat.'
  },
  {
    title: 'Lorem ipsum2',
    newsContent: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis hendrerit dui ac accumsan consequat.'
  }
];

I need to get properties from the array to show here:

export const NewsCard = () => {
  return (
     <div>
        <Card>
          <CardActionArea>
            <CardContent>
              <Typography>
                {props.title} 
              </Typography>
               <Typography>
                {props.newsContent} 
              </Typography>
              <ContextMenu />
            </CardContent>
          </CardActionArea>
        </Card>
     </div>
  );
};

I am new in React and also in TypeScript so I will be very grateful if someone can help me with this.

Unsure if you want a card per entry in your array but you want to make use of Array's map() function like so:

export const NewsCard = (newsItem) => {
  return (
     <div>
        <Card>
          <CardActionArea>
            <CardContent>
              <Typography>
                {newsItem.title} 
              </Typography>
               <Typography>
                {newsItem.newsContent} 
              </Typography>
              <ContextMenu />
            </CardContent>
          </CardActionArea>
        </Card>
     </div>
  );
};

return newsList.map(newsItem => NewsCard(newsItem));

This will map each element in your array to a <Card> element where each entry in the array is accessed by newsItem. I hope this is what you wanted!

To render multiple elements you can use .map() function for arrays. Your NewsCard component should accept an argument as props to access props.title and props.newsContent.

return newsList.map((content, ix) => (
    <NewsCard
      key={ix + content.title}
      title={content.title}
      newsContent={content.newsContent}
    />
  ));

You can refer this working demo on Codesandbox

You can use NewsCard as component. Lets say that

export const NewsCard = (props) => {
  return (
     <div>
        <Card>
          <CardActionArea>
            <CardContent>
              <Typography>
                {props.title} 
              </Typography>
               <Typography>
                {props.newsContent} 
              </Typography>
              <ContextMenu />
            </CardContent>
          </CardActionArea>
        </Card>
     </div>
  );
};

Now you have a component called NewsCard that taks props of type

{ title: string, newsContent: string | any }

Now you have a list of

{
    title: 'Lorem ipsum',
    newsContent: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis hendrerit dui ac accumsan consequat.'
}

Lets say that you using App component to show the list of cards

function App(){

return (
    <>
    {newsList.map((cardListItem, index)=> <NewsCard key={`card-${index}`} title={cardListItem.title} newsContent={cardListItem.newsContent} /> )}
    </>
    );
}

assuming that NewsCard is in the same file otherwise you need to import it.
