So I'm using react-bootstrap-typeahead and it's working completely fine when I'm typing something in the search box. It gives me the relevant options when I type something in the search box like this:
However, when I select one of options and then try to re-change the text it throws an error. This is how it looks like when I select 1 option.
And this is the error it throws: TypeError: 'Cannot read property 'match' of undefined'
Here is the state of the Search component which has the Typeahead:
class Search extends Component {
state = {
hcpName: [],
hcps: [],
searchName: '',
isLoading: false,
hcp_id: 101,
searchSelectedOption: ''
}
And here is the Typeahead I'm using:
<div className='col-md-3'>
<div class="form-group">
<Typeahead
id="basic-example"
options={this.state.hcpName}
placeholder="Search by Name..."
emptyLabel={this.state.isLoading ?
<>
<span>Searching...
<Loader
style={{ paddingLeft: '5px', display: 'inline' }}
type="Circles"
color="#0caf8d"
height={15}
width={20}
radius={30}
/>
</span>
</>
: ''}
isLoading={this.state.isLoading}
onInputChange={(searchName) => this.setState({ searchName }, () => {
{
let nameValue = this.state.searchName;
this.setState({ isLoading: true })
axios.post('/get-hcp-data', {
nameValue: nameValue
})
.then((res) => {
const hcps = res.data;
this.setState({ hcps: hcps, hcpName: Object.values(hcps.hcp_details_concat) })
this.setState({ isLoading: false })
}, (error) => {
console.log(error);
});
}
})}
onChange={(selectedOption) => {
console.log('selected option: ', selectedOption[0]);
console.log('npi id selected', selectedOption[0].replace(/(^.*\[|\].*$)/g, ''));
console.log('parsed npi id selected', parseInt(selectedOption[0].replace(/(^.*\[|\].*$)/g, '')[0]));
this.setState({hcp_id: parseInt(selectedOption[0].match(/[^[\]]+(?=])/g)[0])});
}}
/>
</div>
</div>
Inside 'onInputChange' inside Typeahead, I'm basically making an api call after every keystroke that a user enters. So that's why you can see an axios request over there. And inside 'onChange', I extract the number inside the square brackets of the user selection.
As I mentioned, I face an error when I try to change the text of the already selected option. For example, suppose I clicked on [101]Anna, I see that text in the search bar. And when I try to modify it again, I immediately see an error. What's the possible reason for this?
Here is the console log for onInput change:
I solved the problem by identifying that the match/replace function can't be used inside the onChange of Typeahead so I instead directly used it while fetching the api data. For that, I first set the state according to what the user has selected like this:
onChange={(selectedOption) => this.setState({ searchName: selectedOption }, () => {
console.log('selected option: ', selectedOption);
})}
And then while fetching the data, I made use of the searchName state to run the replace function.
dataFetch = () => {
this.setState({ receivedData: [], loading: true });
let page_id = this.state.page_id;
let hcp_id = parseInt(this.state.searchName[0].replace(/(^.*\[|\].*$)/g, ''));
axios.post('/test-json', {
page_id: page_id,
hcp_id: hcp_id
})
.then((res) => {
this.setState({ receivedData: res.data, loading: false });
console.log('State after loading data: ', this.state);
}, (error) => {
this.setState({ error: true });
console.log(error);
});
}
