How to save a list of json data that i get from an API to a class property using fetch












0















I'm trying to call a localhost API that i created in my react app class. This API will return a list of json data, i'm trying to save these results in a property



I don't know much about Reacjs. What i have tried so far is to create a method that will call the API and return the data, the i call this method in my class and save the results in a property.
The type of this method is Promise since the results that i'm expectibng are a list of data :



let items: any;
function getIncidentsFromApiAsync(): Promise<any>{
return fetch('http://localhost:3978/calling')
.then((response) => response.json())
}
export class App extends React.Component<{}, IDetailsListCustomColumnsExampleState> {
constructor(props: {}) {
super(props);
getIncidentsFromApiAsync().then(json => items = json);
}
}


I haven't been able to see the results since items is always undefined after calling getIncidentsFromApiAsync() method.

          You can handle this in React using State and lifecycle method componentDidMount that gets called when the component is ready:



          function getIncidentsFromApiAsync(): Promise<any>{
          return fetch('http://localhost:3978/calling').then(
          (response) => response.json()
          );
          }

          export class App extends React.Component<{}, IDetailsListCustomColumnsExampleState> {
          constructor(props: {}) {
          super(props);

          this.state = {
          items:
          };
          }

          componentDidMount() {
          getIncidentsFromApiAsync().then(json => this.setState({ items: json });
          }

          render() {
          if (this.state.items.length) {
          const itemsList = this.state.items.map((item) => <li key={item}>{item}</li>);
          return (
          <div>
          <ul>{itemsList}</ul>
          </div>
          );
          }

          return <div>List is not available</div>;
          }
          }
