I am getting a "this.state.weather.map is not a function" error. I am fetching data from weather api. I got the name from api displayed ok. api call it self is ok is success too. here how the api looks like in console

here is the code

Answer 1

You are instantiating the app by saying this.state = { weather: []};. However, When you say this.setState({weather: res.data}), you are overriding the this.state.weather to a JavaScript object rather than array, thus the .map is not available anymore.

You can achieve what you're trying to do by simply const weathermap = this.state.weather.wind.speed

Answer 2

this.state.weather is a javascript object so .map is not available you can use

Object.Keys(YourObject).map()
