React Filter Ignore null Variables


have an array of objects I'm showing in a table in react and adding a filter to the top of each table column. Most columns are NOT NULL but there are a few that can be null. These columns are failing when trying to filter them. Trying to find a way to bypass null variables. Showing what I have, first set works when no null values, second is the one I am attempting to fix.

{data
    .filter((row) => 
        !searchedValueQuote || row.QuoteNo
        .toString()
        .toLowerCase()                                              
        .includes(searchedValueQuote.toString().toLowerCase())
    )
    .filter((row) => 
        !searchedValueStatus || row.dataValues.jobStatus || typeof row.dataValues.jobStatus !== null
        .toString()
        .toLowerCase()                                           
        .includes(searchedValueStatus.toString().toLowerCase())
    )
    .map( 
        ....
    )
}

The error is

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

Solution

  • Please try this.

    {data
        .filter((row) => {
            if (!searchedValueQuote) { return true; }
            if (!row || !row.QuoteNo) { return false; }
            
            return row.QuoteNo
                .toString()
                .toLowerCase()                                              
                .includes(searchedValueQuote.toString().toLowerCase())
        })
        .filter((row) => {
            if (!searchedValueStatus) { return true; }
            if (!row || !row.dataValues || !row.dataValues.jobStatus) { return false; }
            
            return row.dataValues.jobStatus
                .toString()
                .toLowerCase()                                           
                .includes(searchedValueStatus.toString().toLowerCase())
        })
        .map( 
            ....
        )
    }
