How to display each item in an array in React JS? - arrays

Question

I'm new to React and programing in general and I'm having trouble writing code that return each element in an array, in React JS.
the whole code is below:
import React from 'react'
const App = () => {
const course = {
name: 'Half Stack application development',
parts: [
{
name: 'Fundamentals of React',
exercises: 10
},
{
name: 'Using props to pass data',
exercises: 7
},
{
name: 'State of a component',
exercises: 14
}
]
}
const Header = (props) => {
return (
<h1>{props.course.name}</h1>
)
}
const Content = (props) => {
const lisItem = props.course.parts.map((part =>
<li>{props.course.parts.name}</li>
))
return (
<ul>{lisItem}</ul>
)
}
return (
<div>
<Header course={course}/>
<Content course={course}/>
</div>
)
}
export default App
Right now it half-works: I can display 3 bullet points (match with numbers of parts) but cannot display the name of the part itself.
Also I would like to clarify the out put a wanted is the course's name and each name of the parts be displayed.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You are not using map correctly. It should be like this:
const lisItem = props.course.parts.map((part) => <li>{part.name}</li>);
You were ignoring each part given to you by map. Check docs of map.
Also I see now you were defining the two components Header and Content inside the App component, that is not good practice (due to reconciliation), move their definition outside of App:
import React from "react";
const Header = (props) => {
return <h1>{props.course.name}</h1>;
};
const Content = (props) => {
const lisItem = props.course.parts.map((part) => <li>{part.name}</li>);
return <ul>{lisItem}</ul>;
};
const App = () => {
const course = {
name: "Half Stack application development",
parts: [
{
name: "Fundamentals of React",
exercises: 10,
},
{
name: "Using props to pass data",
exercises: 7,
},
{
name: "State of a component",
exercises: 14,
},
],
};
return (
<div>
<Header course={course} />
<Content course={course} />
</div>
);
};

Your .map( part => ...) iterates props.course.parts, the part inside the map function is a single item of the list.
