javascript - React, using .map with index

Question

I have a simple React component like so:

import React from 'react';

const ListPage = ({todos}) => (
  <div>
    <h6>todos</h6>
    <ul>
    {todos.map(({todo, index}) => (
      <li key={index}>{todo}</li>
    ))}
    </ul>
  </div>
)

ListPage.propTypes = {
  todos: React.PropTypes.array,
};

export default ListPage;

I can see that the docs for Array.prototype.map() shows that the second argument is index, next to currentValue. How does one alter the existing code to pick up the second argument?

You need to to this:

todos.map((key, index) => { ... }) without object brackets for arguments.

({todo, index}) => { ... } - that syntax means that you want to get properties todo and index from first argument of function.

You can see syntax here:

Basic syntax

(param1, param2, …, paramN) => { statements }
(param1, param2, …, paramN) => expression
         // equivalent to:  => { return expression; }

// Parentheses are optional when there's only one parameter:
(singleParam) => { statements }
singleParam => { statements }

// A function with no parameters requires parentheses:
() => { statements }

Advanced syntax

// Parenthesize the body to return an object literal expression:
params => ({foo: bar})

// Rest parameters and default parameters are supported
(param1, param2, ...rest) => { statements }
(param1 = defaultValue1, param2, …, paramN = defaultValueN) => { statements }

// Destructuring within the parameter list is also supported
var f = ([a, b] = [1, 2], {x: c} = {x: a + b}) => a + b + c;
f();  // 6
