  1. Your code in useEffect is correct the reason you may be getting this error is because of

    1. There is no JSON data from the backend
    2. Maybe the JSON you received is not proper JSON

    you can confirm this by replacing res.json() with res.text() and then console.log it

  2. You should include a .catch() call in your chain of method calls off the fetch, so that you can handle errors or malformed input from your API. The error is saying it’s "uncaught" because there is no catch clause.

    i.e.

      fetch(url)
        .then((res) => res.json())
        .then((data) => setProduct(data))
        .catch((error) => console.error("Something went wrong: ", error))
