ReactJS - Dropdown options implementation guide based on API response when using useState
I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm working on a React application where I need to populate a dropdown based on an API response. The question arises when I try to update the options for the dropdown using `useState`. I'm fetching data from an API and expecting the dropdown options to update accordingly, but it seems like the state isn't reflecting the updated options correctly. Here’s a simplified version of my component: ```javascript import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; const MyDropdown = () => { const [options, setOptions] = useState([]); const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState(''); useEffect(() => { const fetchOptions = async () => { try { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/options'); const data = await response.json(); setOptions(data); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior fetching options:', behavior); } }; fetchOptions(); }, []); const handleChange = (event) => { setSelectedOption(event.target.value); }; return ( <select value={selectedOption} onChange={handleChange}> <option value=''>Select an option</option> {options.map((option) => ( <option key={option.id} value={option.value}>{option.label}</option> ))} </select> ); }; export default MyDropdown; ``` I've confirmed that the API returns the expected data structure, which looks like this: ```json [ {"id": 1, "value": "option1", "label": "Option 1"}, {"id": 2, "value": "option2", "label": "Option 2"} ] ``` However, when the dropdown is rendered, it doesn't display the options from the API response. I even added some console logs to check the `options` state right after setting it, and it shows the correct data, but the dropdown remains empty. I've tried using `console.log` to debug, and it appears that the `options` state is updated correctly, but the component doesn't re-render as expected. I’m using React 17 and I’ve also checked that there are no duplicate keys in the dropdown options. Is there something I’m missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
