React - setState not updating array

Here's my code :



class App extends Component {
state = {
query: '',
results:
}
handleSearch(e) {
var query = e.target.elements.query.value;
axios.get("http://www.omdbapi.com/?s=" + query + "&page=1&apikey=xxxx")
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.data);
this.setState({
results: response.data.Search
});
}.bind(this))
.catch(function (error) {
});
e.preventDefault();
}


I'm trying to fetch data from omdb and show it on page.



the problem is setState not updating an array results?



Any idea ? Thanks

    If you write console.error(error); inside your catch function, does it log anything to the console? Do you get an error in the Network tab of your Developer Tools?

  • @Tholle yes ; the output is "TypeError: Cannot read property 'setState' of undefined "

  • @Axnyff but I just bind it with .bind(this)

  • @Chino Alright. Then you most likely need to bind handleSearch to this in the constructor, or make handleSearch into a class property arrow function: handleSearch = (e) => { ... };

You bind the function called when the axios requests completes correctly, but you must also bind the handleSearch method itself. You could do this in the constructor, or use a class property arrow function instead:



class App extends Component {
state = {
query: '',
results:
}

handleSearch = (e) => {
// ...
}
}
