I'm having issues with setting this.setState from within my API call. If I console.log the stocks array inside the axios call the data is available in the array. It is not available outside if it.
Is the problem because this.setState is merging objects? I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what is happening here. How do I fix this problem so I can pass the contents to props?
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
import SearchBar from './components/search_bar';
import StockList from './components/StockList';
import './App.css';
class App extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
stocks: [],
term: null,
value: ''
};
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
handleChange(e) {
this.setState({
value: e.target.value
});
}
handleClick(e) {
if(e) e.preventDefault();
this.setState({
value: '',
term: this.state.value
});
let term = this.state.value;
const key = 'F41ON15LGCFM4PR7';
const url = `https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=BATCH_STOCK_QUOTES&symbols=${term}&apikey=${key}`;
axios.get(axios.get(url)
.then(res => {
let stocks = Array.from(res.data['Stock Quotes']).map((stock) => [{symbol: stock['1. symbol'], price: stock['2. price'], volume: stock['3. volume'], timestamp: stock['4. timestamp']}]);
this.setState((state, props) => {
return [...this.state.stocks]
})
})
.catch(error => console.log(error))
)
}
render () {
let stocks = this.state.stocks;
const value = this.state.value;
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Stock Search</h1>
<SearchBar value={ value }
onChange={ this.handleChange }
onClick={ this.handleClick }/>
<StockList stockItems={ stocks }/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
