How do I use data object out of arrow function?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data));

I fetch a JSON, but I do not know how to use data object out of the arrow function?

I have got: data is not defined.

What I have tried:

JavaScript

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data));

const titles = data.title;

for (const title of titles) {
    console.log(title);
}

console.table(data);

by for each you access only the first depth of the data array.

It's json, it's n-dimensions array so often. maybe the datas are at depth 2 / or 3
{{{data1:value,data2:value2},,{and so and so}}}; is different from 1 dimension array : {data1,data2}

arrow function are 'lambda expressions'

Could You show an code example to get for example the titles with for loop?

I can't guess the 'datas' array structure by myself ... It's now your turn to complete your request.
what do you have in console.table(data) ? please

when you have 'data is not defined' , it's because data is empty

how to connect response data with variable data? Or other words: how to use response data as variable?

When you use promises (ie. fetch()) you can only access the data within the then() function. The data produced from that API is a JSON array of objects, so you can iterate over the values as so:

JavaScript

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {

    // You can only access the data from the response in here

    for (const item of data) {
      console.log(item.title);
    }
  });

Or you can use a more modern async/await approach:

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts');
const data = response.json();

for (const item of data) {
  console.log(item.title);
}
