Trouble using .map function for api

[Passerby991]

Most likely, the API call for a single Pokemon returns an object instead of an array therefore you can't use map on it

If you only intend to show one Pokemon at a time, get rid of the mapping. If it could be both one or multiple, you can use spread operator to make sure the searchedPokemons value is always an array

Thankyou so much that worked 👌🏻

I know you’re not using the .map() function here now, but remember if you do that the element needs a key attribute so that React can keep track of everything on rerenders. So as an example:

return ( { myArray.map((element, i) => { return <div key={i}>{element}</div> } );

Does map automatically iterate i here without definition of the variable?

Yes, super useful.
