Mapping nested data object within an array

Question

I have the following data from JSON that I need to render in the front end of my application:

JSON in Redux Slice

{
    "documentGenerated": [
        {
            "documents": 
                {
                    "documentName": "string",
                    "documentStoreId": {{faker 'random.number'}},
                    "documentTitle": "string"
                }
            ,
            "groupName": "string",
            "groupId": {{faker 'random.number'}}
        }
    ],
}

My console log returns the data correctly from my redux slice which I import into my component, however, when I try to map the data it returns the following error:

Error

TypeError: e.documents.map is not a function at line 63

which corresponds to this line of code in the component:

docGenerated.documents.map((document, documentStoreId) => (

Finally, here is how I am mapping the data within the component:

Component

 const documentGenerated = useSelector(selectDocumentGenerated);

 <Card
                type="default"
                title={(
                  <div>
                    {documentGenerated.map((docGenerated) =>
                      docGenerated.documents.map((document) => (
                        <div>
                          <p key={{ documentStoreId }}>{document.documentName}</p>
                        </div>
                      )),
                    )}
                  </div>
                )}
              />

I'm not sure exactly what I am doing wrong, but I took a look at this example from S/O: React - how to map nested object values? however, I keep running into the same error. I believe that I'm not mapping the documents object correctly within the JSON. Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Apparently your documents isn't an array...

Your code docGenerated.documents.map(...) looks good, it doesn't seem to be the problem.

It might be you're missing the [ ] around documents in your sample redux state slice:

"documents": 
  {
    "documentName": "string",
    "documentStoreId": {{faker 'random.number'}},
    "documentTitle": "string"
  },

If that's the case you can't .map on documents because it's an Object and not an Array.
