javascript - How to have nested loops with map in JSX?

Question

I can't achieve to have two nested map:

render() {
    return (
      <table className="table">
        <tbody>
          {Object.keys(this.state.templates).map(function(template_name) {
            return (
              <tr key={template_name}><td><b>Template: {template_name}</b></td></tr>

              {this.state.templates[template_name].items.map(function(item) {
                return (
                  <tr key={item.id}><td>{item.id}</td></tr>
                )
              })}
            )
          })}
        </tbody>
      </table>
    )
  }

This gives a SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token.

How do you nest map calls in JSX?

Answer 1

You need to wrap it inside an element.

Something like this (I've added an extra tr due to the rules of tables elements):

  render() {
    return (
      <table className="table">
        <tbody>
          {Object.keys(templates).map(function (template_name) {
            return (
              <tr key={template_name}>
                <tr>
                  <td>
                    <b>Template: {template_name}</b>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                {templates[template_name].items.map(function (item) {
                  return (
                    <tr key={item.id}>
                      <td>{item}</td>
                    </tr>
                  );
                })}
              </tr>
            );
          })}
        </tbody>
      </table>
    );
  }
}

Running Example (without a table):

const templates = {
  template1: {
    items: [1, 2]
  },
  template2: {
    items: [2, 3, 4]
  },
};

const App = () => (
  <div>
    {
      Object.keys(templates).map(template_name => {
        return (
          <div>
            <div>{template_name}</div>
            {
              templates[template_name].items.map(item => {
                return(<div>{item}</div>)
              })
            }
          </div>
        )
      })
    }
  </div>
);
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
