React Native foreach loop

Question

I'm developing a little app in React Native and I am looking for something like a foreach function. I just can't find a foreach loop. Not on StackOverflow and not even in the docs. I've found something with 'map', but I don't know if this is what I'm looking for.

With a request to my Server I get multiple objects of users. When I log the result, it looks like this:

Object {
    "id": "1",
    "role": "user",
    "username": "user1",
  },
Object {
    "id": "2",
    "role": "admin",
    "username": "user2",

I'd like to output this to a list. In plain PHP I would use a foreach loop for this, but like I said, I can't find a foreach loop for React Native.

How is it possible to loop trought this objects? I know that I could also use a simple for loop, but this would definitly not be my first choice...

EDIT: I saved this value in this.state.users with this.setState({users: responseData.users});. State is defined in my constructor. I try to access this with this.state.users.map(id => <Text>{id}</Text>) but I always get the same error: null is not an object (evaluating 'this.state.users.map'). Am I doing this right?

Answer 1

You can use map or for-of or any other

Example:

// for of
for (let userObject of this.state.users) {
    console.log(userObject.username);
}
// map
this.state.users.map((userData) => {
    console.log(userData.username);
});

as per the error you may not have data within users state, so you are getting error. If data is proper then above example will work properly

In react, preferred way is map method of Array. Example using ES6 arrow function:

render() {    
    return (
        <View>    
           {dataList.map(r => <Button>{r}</Button>)}    
        </View>
    )
}
