Dynamic routing for fetching an API with event handler


I am trying to create a weather app https://havadurumu-7pqg.vercel.app/ and figure out how to create a dynamic routes for input values of the search form with onSubmit or onClick.

index.js file (shortened):

export default function Home() {

  const [city, setCity] = useState('')
  const [weather, setWeather] = useState([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const router = useRouter();

  const fetchWeather = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const axiosRequest = require('axios');
    try {

      const url2 = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?lat=${response.data[0].lat}&lon=${response.data[0].lon}&units=metric&cnt=16&appid=${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WEATHER_KEY}`;
      const response2 = await axiosRequest.get(url2);
      router.push(`/hava/${city}`);
      setWeather(response2);
      // useEffect(() => {

when submitted the form by searching city on landing page got an

"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'data') at Weather ([city].jsx:30:33)"

mentioned error line "[city].jsx:30:33" is below:

const dt = data.data.list[i].dt;

possible causes that chatgpt suggests:

• data is being fetched asynchronously and there is a delay in retrieving the data

• make sure that the Weather component is correctly defined to accept the weather prop

• confirm that the Weather component is receiving the weather state as a prop

it seems my weather.jsx file is having troubles to accessing data object that coming from the index.js file.


Solution

  • SOLVED

    I just moved the fetchWeather function from index.js to [city].jsx file. And fetch the weather inside the [city].jsx file with useState hook like so:

    for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
                    const temp = Math.trunc(weather.list[i].temp.max);
                    tempday.push(temp);
                }
