I am building a page with a horizontal menu of categories and subcategories to be populated with database data using react and react-bootstrap.
The database table (namely levels ) has the following structure:
id | level_name | category | subcategory | parent_id
If the row is for a category then subcategory and parent_id have the value 0 and category contains 1. If the row is for a subcategory then category column contains 0, subcategory contains 1 and parent_id has the id of the category of which this is a subcategory.
While building the horizontal menu of categories with subcategories as drop down items , I iterate over the database table and when I get a row with zero as the value in parent_id, I pick the id value and iterate over the table again to find the subcategories.
To make things simple, you can just concentrate on the map function used twice. That is where the problem occurs.
My reactJS code is :
class Header extends Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props)
this.state = {
levels_all:[],
cat_id_found:0,
cat_name:''
}
}
componentDidMount(prevProps) {
//levels_all gets the value through an ajax call with axios here
this.setState({
levels_all: levels_all
})
}// end of componentDidMount
render () {
var cat_id_found=0;
var cat_name = '';
return (
<>
<nav className='navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light navbar-laravel'>
<div className='container'>
<Link className='navbar-brand' to='/'>Tasksman</Link>
</div>
</nav>
<Navbar bg="light" expand="lg">
<Navbar.Brand href="#home">React-Bootstrap</Navbar.Brand>
<Navbar.Toggle aria-controls="basic-navbar-nav" />
<Navbar.Collapse id="basic-navbar-nav">
<Nav className="mr-auto">
<Nav.Link href="#home">Home</Nav.Link>
<Nav.Link href="#link">Link</Nav.Link>
{
this.state.levels_all.map( (item, idx) => ( item.parent_id == 0 ?
(
cat_id_found=item.id,
cat_name = item.level_name
<NavDropdown title="Dropdown1111" id="basic-nav-dropdown">
this.state.levels_all.map( (item1, idx) =>
(
cat_id_found == item1.id ? (
<NavDropdown.Item href="#action/3.1">item1.level_name</NavDropdown.Item>
):(
)
))
</NavDropdown>
) : (
)
))
}
</Nav>
</Navbar.Collapse>
</Navbar>
<h1>THIS IS HEADER </h1>
</>
)
}
}
export default Header
But I get the following error in command prompt while running the command npm run watch:
Header.js: Unexpected token, expected "," which indicates at the title of the line -
<NavDropdown title="Dropdown1111" id="basic-nav-dropdown">.
Screenshot is here :
How to get rid of the error ?
EDIT:
I have ComponentDidMount like this :
componentDidMount(prevProps) {
axios
.post('/api/fetchLevels')
.then(response => {
// redirect to the homepage
//history.push('/')
console.log("header response = ");
console.log(response);
var levels_all = response.data.result;
this.setState({
levels_all: levels_all
})
})
.catch(error => {
this.setState({
// errors: error.response.data.errors
errors: error
})
})
}// end of ComponentDidMount
