I am trying to read files of a directory and usin socket i have to render the file name and file data using React.
here is what i have done:
Server :
var files = fs.readdirSync(currentPath);
for (var i in files) {
(function(j){
var currentFile = currentPath + '/' + files[j];
var fileName = files[j];
var stats = fs.statSync(currentFile);
if (stats.isFile()) {
fs.readFile(currentFile, function (err, data) {
if (err)
throw err;
if (data){
var fileAndData=currentFile+" "+data.toString('utf8')
io.emit('file data',fileAndData);
console.log("file name and file data ***",currentFile+data.toString('utf8'));
}
});
}
else if (stats.isDirectory()) {
traverseFileSystem(currentFile);
}
}
)( i );
}
client : parent component :
class FileData extends Component{
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
filedata:null,
filename:null,
data:[]
}
}
componentDidMount() {
socket.on('file data', function(msg){
this.state.data.push(msg);
// this.setState({filename:msg})
}.bind(this));
}
render(){
return(<div>
<DataCard data={this.state.data}/>
</div>);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<FileData/>,document.getElementById('messages')
);
client : child component
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state={data:this.props.data}
}
render(){
console.log("array",Array.isArray(this.state.data))
console.log("array length",this.state.data.length)
console.log("array is ==>",this.state.data)
return(
<MuiThemeProvider>
</MuiThemeProvider>);
}
I want display the data and file name and file data using map.But when i am consoling the data recieved in child component Array length is Zero. Here is the
console result :
array true
array length 0
array is ==> Array[0]0: "/vagrant/assignment/server/data//file 1.txt hello from file 1."1: "/vagrant/assignment/server/data//file 2.txt hello from file 2."length: 2__proto__: Array[0]
Why 3rd console showing 2 data if its length is zero.
