javascript - React.js create loop through Array

Question

I'm trying to display a Table of 10 Players. I get the data from via ajax and pass it as props to my Child.

var CurrentGame = React.createClass({

  // get game info
  loadGameData: function() {
    $.ajax({
      url: '/example.json',
      dataType: 'json',
      success: function(data) {
        this.setState({data: data});
      }.bind(this),
      error: function(xhr, status, err) {
        console.error('#GET Error', status, err.toString());
      }.bind(this)
    });
  },

  getInitialState: function(){
    return {data: []};
  },

  componentDidMount: function() {
    this.loadGameData();
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <div className="CurrentGame">
        <h1> Current Game Information</h1>
        <PlayerList data={this.state.data}/>
      </div>
    );
  }
});

Now I need a List Component to Render the Players:

var PlayerList = React.createClass({


  render: function() {

    // This prints the correct data
    console.log(this.props.data);

    return (
      <ul className="PlayerList">
        // I'm the Player List {this.props.data}
        // <Player author="The Mini John" />

        {
          this.props.data.participants.map(function(player) {
            return <li key={player}>{player}</li>
          })
        }
      </ul>
    )
  }
});

Which gives me a Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined.

I'm kind of unsure what is happening, my console log displays the correct data but somehow I can't access it in the return.

What am I missing ?

Answer 1

In CurrentGame component you need to change initial state because you are trying use loop for participants but this property is undefined that's why you get error.,

getInitialState: function(){
    return {
       data: {
          participants: [] 
       }
    };
},

also, as player in .map is Object you should get properties from it

this.props.data.participants.map(function(player) {
   return <li key={player.championId}>{player.summonerName}</li>
   // -------------------^^^^^^^^^^^---------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
})
