//brief context of application
In my application a user can customise a microreactor (type of object that has many attributes) and then save it which gets saved to mongoDB. The application runs on the MERN stack. After the user creates it, they can view it on a different page.
//the problem
When the user views the microreactors that have been created, ALL microreactors are being shown, microreactors that have been created by other users. I only want microreactors that have been created by the active user to be shown to them.
//how I’m trying to solve it
Here is the schema:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const MicroreactorSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
user: {
type: String
},
name: {
type: Number
},
electrodeOne: {
type: String
},
electrodeTwo: {
type: String
},
temperature: {
type: String
},
pressure: {
type: String
},
flowRate: {
type: String
},
reagentOne: {
type: String
},
reagentTwo: {
type: String
},
electrodeArea: {
type: String
},
electrodeDistance: {
type: String
},
vcTemp: [
String,
],
vcTempTime: [
String
],
vcPressure: [
String,
],
vcPressureTime: [
String,
],
vcFlowRate: [
String,
],
vcFlowRateTime: [
String
],
tubing: [{
length: String,
diameter: String,
loops: String,
material: String}]
});
const MicroreactorsModel = mongoose.model("microreactors", MicroreactorSchema);
module.exports = MicroreactorsModel;
As you can see the microreactor has the attribute user, this user correlates to the specific user who created the microreactor at the time of creating/saving it.
This is the code that fetches the microreactors and displays it to the user (in the react front end)
useEffect(() => {
Axios.get("http://localhost:3001/getMicroreactors").then((response) => {
setMrViewList(response.data);
});
}, []);
This code fetches all microreactors. I want the one that match to the active user. This is the code (below) I tried. I don’t think it’s possible this way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
useEffect(() => {
Axios.get("http://localhost:3001/getMicroreactors").then((response) => {
for(let i=0; i<response.data.length; i++) {
response.data[i].map((mr) => {
if(mr.user == localStorage.getItem("userUsername")) {
setMrViewList(...mrViewList, response.data[i])
}
}
)}
});

Response to question: first data type map doesn’t work, second data type of object map works

Response.data is generating a list of objects. Iterate through the objects to see if any objects match the username of the active user. If they do then push them to an array. After the iteration is complete set the state to the array
like this
Instead of a for-loop, what about
.filter():
