 const fecthApi = async () => {

      );
    }

export default App;

I get an error after compiling it but I have defined it and fetch the data using async await but get a

TypeError: data[index] is undefined

I have stuck for several hours and still come out with no solution. Furthermore, I have tried to destructed it but still get the same error. Using data.map() works, but I only want to display one hero data at a time, and using map would load 120 hero data.

I understand this is kinda a dumb question, but I just can’t figure it out 🙂

Answer

data[index] is undefined before fetching ended. So, data[index].localized_name will gives you error. you can write it like this.

data[index] && data[index].localized_name
