Morning all I am trying to use componentDidMount lifecycle method to pull some data through on the frontend from a .json file. and push it into the state. I need help with the following

  1. The .json file is placed alongside the app.js in a folder. I am not sure if I am calling the file correctly. flying.json.

  2. I have listed the json data too. How do I begin to pull that data through. (legs

Thanks peeps

Joe

  1. app.js
import React from 'react';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import { CardList }  from './../card-list/card-list'
import STYLES from './App.scss';
import Header from './../Header';

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
      this.state = {
      tester: []
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    fetch('flying.json')
      .then (response =>  response.json())
      .then(users => this.setState({tester:users}))
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{backgroundColor:'grey'}}>
        <Header />
        <CardList tester={this.state.tester}/>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

export default App
  1. the json file flying.json (note this is situated directly alongside app.js)

You can import it. e.g.

import data from "./flying.json";

Full example

import "./styles.css";
import data from "./flying.json";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      {data.itineraries.map((item) => (
        <div key={item.id}>{item.id}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

Another interesting option is to move the JSON file to the public directory and then use Javascript's fetch API to retrieve it.

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";

const App = () => {
  const [ data, setData ] = useState({});

  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      await fetch("/flying.json")
      then(res => res.json())
      then(json => setData(json))
    })();
  });

  return(
    data.map(item => {
      return(
        <div key={item.id}>
          // return whatever you want here
        </div>
      )
    }
  }
}
