I am able to fetch request from the server, but unable to post the request dynamically. I am taking input value but it showing the error below:
Error: SyntaxError: "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"
const url = "http://some domain/api/tweets";
const input = {tweet: {body: ''}};
class App extends Component{
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state={
error:null,
isLoaded:false,
data: [],
value: ''
}
this.onSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
handleChange(e){
this.setState({value: e.target.value});
}
componentDidMount() {
fetch("http://some domain/api/tweets")
.then(res => res.json())
.then(
(result) => {
this.setState({
isLoaded: true,
data: result.data
});
},
(error) => {
this.setState({
isLoaded: true,
error
});
}
)
}
handleSubmit(e){
e.preventDefault()
fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(this.state.value),
headers:{
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
}).then(res => res.json())
.then(response => console.log('Success:', JSON.stringify(response)))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
}
render(){
const { error, isLoaded, data } = this.state;
if (error) {
return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
} else if (!isLoaded) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
} else {
return (
<div className="list-type5">
<form onSubmit={this.onSubmit} >
<input type="text" placeholder="Body" value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<ol>
{data.map(i => (
<div key={i.id}>
<li >
<a> <b> ID:</b> {i.id} | <b> Body:</b> {i.body} | <b> Views:</b> {i.views} </a>
</li>
</div>
))}
</ol>
</div>
);
}
}
}
export default App;
I just changed and remove const input = {tweet: {body: ''}};
from top and write it into the handleSubmit
function just check it below:-
handleSubmit(e){
e.preventDefault()
const input = {tweet: {body: this.state.value}};
fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(input),
headers:{
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
}).then(res => res.json())
.then(response => console.log('Success:', JSON.stringify(response)))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
}
