Multiple useEffect in react-native to achieve mentioned functionality - react-native

Question

I need help with the async nature of Async storage and axios api. Here's the functionality that I am trying to achieve ->
send request to two separate api to get some data.
display that data on the screen with some additional text
api request are authenticated so a token is passed as Authentication Header
I have attached the current implementation, I am having the a number of errors in this
Errors:
Login_token not set in state after fetching from Async Storage.
Data not set in state after api call
both resulting in either failed api calls or undefined state errors on render
This is my code.

Answer 1

When axios returns, it usually give the response as res.data, so in your case, try either res.data or res.data.yourToken (I'm not sure how it's your object).

Answer 2

Gurav,
As far as your code above, The api call's will trigger even before you get currentuser or loginToken. You have to handle the api call after getting the currentuser and loginToken. This can be gracefully handled with async, await.
example code:
useEffect(() => {
getData()
}, [])
useEffect(() => {
if(login_token && currentuser) {
//The api call goes here after you get the logintoken andcurrentuser.
// The above condition is just an example but will vary based on your requirements
}
}, [login_token, currentuser])
const getData = async () => {
await getlogintoken()
await getcurrentuser()
}
const getlogintoken = async () => {
await AsyncStorage.getItem("login_token").then(res => {
if (res != null) {
setLoading(false)
setlogin_token(res)
}
else alert("No login token found")
})
}
const getcurrentuser = async () => {
await AsyncStorage.getItem("currentuser").then(res => {
if (res != null) setcurrentuser(res)
else alert("Current user not found")
})
}
