I have a map function to create a component repetitively and dynamically. Suppose it's like this:
renderBoxes() {
return Array.map(data => this.myFunction(indexOfThisArray));
}
How can I pass the index of the array? So that the 'myFunction' function gets the index value everytime it is called.
Map provides second argument as the index of the current element and third argument as the whole array itself.
renderBoxes() {
return Array.map((data, index, array) => this.myFunction(index));
}
Read more about Array.prototype.map
the syntax of map is
var new_array = arr.map(function callback(currentValue, index, array) {
// Return element for new_array
}[, thisArg])
source. You can find the index as the 2nd parameter in the callback function
Simply pass a second arguments to your arrow function (data, index)
renderBoxes() {
return Array.map((data, index) => this.myFunction(indexOfThisArray));
}
Signaure for .map
var new_array = arr.map(function callback(currentValue, index, array) {
// Return element for new_array
}[, thisArg])
