Multiple filters / Filter inside filter - React Native - react-native

Question

how can i do something like that in React-Native:
data = [
{id:1,title:'Action',games:[
{id:1,title:'Game1'},
{id:2,title:'Game2'},
{id:3,title:'Game3'},
]},
{id:2,title:'Horror',games:[
{id:1,title:'Game1'},
{id:2,title:'Game2'},
{id:3,title:'Game3'},
]},
]
Every time the query string is updated, look for the game within the category.
Returns only the categories that contain a game with the searched characters.
Thank you! :D

I don't know if I understand your question correctly. This is my solution.
If you query for "Game5" you will get whole object that contains query
const data = [
{
id: 1,
title: "Action",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game1" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game2" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game3" },
],
},
{
id: 2,
title: "Horror",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game4" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game5" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game6" },
],
},
];
const query = "Game5";
const result = data.find((category) =>
category.games.find((g) => g.title === query)
);
console.log(result);
You can use 'filter' instead of 'find' and result will be an array.
This is example of filter version. I add one more category so you can see how it filter
const data = [
{
id: 1,
title: "Action",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game1" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game2" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game3" },
],
},
{
id: 2,
title: "Horror",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game1" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game2" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game3" },
],
},
{
id: 3,
title: "Comedy",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game5" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game6" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game7" },
],
},
];
const query = "Game2";
const result = data.filter((category) =>
category.games.find((g) => g.title === query)
);
console.log(result);
And you might want to look at life cycle componentDidUpdate if you write class component, but if you write function component you might want to use useEffect
This is official react hook explaination
EDIT: from your comment you might want something like this
const data = [
{
id: 1,
title: "Action",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game1" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game2" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game3" },
],
},
{
id: 2,
title: "Horror",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game1" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game2" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game3" },
],
},
{
id: 3,
title: "Comedy",
games: [
{ id: 1, title: "Game5" },
{ id: 2, title: "Game6" },
{ id: 3, title: "Game7" },
],
},
];
const query = "Game5";
let result = null;
data.forEach((category) => {
const game = category.games.filter((g) => g.title === query);
if (game.length) result = { ...category, games: game };
});
console.log(result);
