Need help on parsing data for Wikipedia viewer app

Hello Folks,

I feel like stuck with this. I am developing the ‘Wikipedia Viewer’ in React. Here is my code to fetch data,

getSearchTerm = (term) => {
        
        fetch(
            `https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&search=${term}`
              
        ).then(
            (response) => {
                if(response.ok){
                    return response;
                }else{
                    console.log('no response');
                }
            }
        ).then(data => data.json()).then(data => {
            console.log(data)
            this.setState({wikidata: data});
        });
    }
render(){
        return (
        <div>
            <ShowSearchResult wikiData={this.state.wikidata}/>
        </div>
        );
    }

This all working fine as in my console log I am getting right output such as,

Array(4)
0: "metadata"
1: (10) ["Metadata", "Metadata registry", "Metadata standard", "Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard", "Metadata discovery", "Metadata Object Description Schema", "Metadata publishing", "Metadata repository", "Metadata modeling", "Metadata management"]

length: 4
__proto__: Array(0)

Where my search term is ‘metadata’ . The output looks to me as, it is an array object, that again contains 3 arrays , each has 10 entries.
However, in my ‘ShowSearchResult’ class when I am trying to parse the data , I am getting error. The ‘render’ method where the parsing is happening looks like,

render(){
        //console.log('ShowSearchResult = ' + this.props.wikiData[3]);
        const dataObj = this.props.wikiData[3];
        if(dataObj){
          dataObj.foreach((element)=>console.log('Hello'));
}

Just for testing, I was trying to parse the 3rd array, that contains 10 urls. But the line,
dataObj.foreach irself throwing error such as,

ShowSearchResult.js:10 Uncaught TypeError: dataObj.foreach is not a function
    at ShowSearchResult.render (ShowSearchResult.js:10)
..............
..............

I really feel very stuck in this. I converted the data in JSON but still couldn’t parse. What I am missing can’t really get . therefore, any help is very much appreciated.

Hello @camperextraordinaire,

Thank you , that you tried to help. I really appreciate that . The ‘D’ in wikidata is not a problem as if you see above , I am apssing such prop in my ShowSearchResult component,

 <ShowSearchResult wikiData={this.state.wikidata}/>

However, the problem was I was using function name ‘foreach’ , instead of ‘forEach’

Another very important point , I want to mention here for those who will be seeing this post later. The issue was not only, for misspelling ‘forEach’ keyword. Because, after solving this , I still had problem. The data , I fetched couldn’t parse in my render method as it was thowing error ,

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘forEach’ of undefined
My code was,

render(){
      
        //console.log('ShowSearchResult = ' + this.props.wikiData);
        const dataObj = this.props.wikiData[3];
        dataObj.forEach((element)=>console.log('Hello - '+ element));
return <p/>;
}

The line,

dataObj.forEach((element)=>console.log('Hello - '+ element));

was throwing the above mentioned error. Because, this component is rendered twice. Once, when the page loads first time and secondly , when the data is returned from network and state object is set. So for the first time render , ‘dataObj’ is null and there for throws an error.
To overcome this, I used an ‘if’ check.

if(!(Object.keys(dataObject).length === 0 && dataObject.constructor === Object)){
          dataObj.forEach((element)=>console.log('Hello - '+ element));
}

And now everything is fine !

Cheers !
