populate cards and modals via same json file using react(-bootstrap)? - react-hooks

Question

The data from workData fills <Card></Card> correctly.
The <Modal></Modal> only fills with the last entry of workData (e.g. Test4, Modal4, test text 4...)
my goal is to generate cards and respective modals (for each card) using the data from the json, in the same file.
why is the modal only being filled by the last properties in the json? how do i get it to populate with the entire array? if possible please explain why this does not work the way it is.
if it's not obvious im super new, i am, any responses would be super appreciated. ty
cards good
after clicking "Read1" bad, should say Test1, test text 1
in App.js: import { Works } from "./Works";
in Works.js: import { workData } from "./data";
also in Work.js:
export const Works = () => {
const [show, setShow] = React.useState(false);
const onClick = () => setShow(true);
return (
<>
<div className="work-container">
<Row xs={1} md={2} lg={4} className="g-4">
{workData.map((data, key) => {
return (
<div key={key}>
<Col>
<Card>
<Card.Img variant="top" src={data.projectImage} />
<Card.Body>
<Card.Title>{data.projectTitle}</Card.Title>
<Card.Text>with {data.projectTeam}</Card.Text>
<Button variant="link" onClick={onClick}>
{data.readMore}
</Button>
</Card.Body>
<Card.Footer>{data.tags}</Card.Footer>
</Card>
</Col>
<Modal
show={show}
onHide={() => setShow(false)}
dialogClassName="modal-95w"
>
<Modal.Header closeButton>
<Modal.Title>{data.projectTitle}</Modal.Title>
</Modal.Header>
<Modal.Body>
<Image src={data.projectImage}></Image>
<p>
{data.modalText}
</p>
<Image src={data.modalImage}></Image>
</Modal.Body>
</Modal>
</div>
);
})}
</Row>
</div>
</>
);
}
in data.js:
export const workData = [
{
projectTitle: "Test1",
modalTitle: "Modal1",
modalText: "test text 1",
modalImage: "image",
readMore: "Read1",
projectImage: "image",
projectTeam: "Test1",
year: "2022",
link1: "link",
link2: "link2",
tags: [
"#tag1 ",
"#tag2 "
]
},
...

Answer 1

You iterate over workData for Cards and Modals, but you use only one single state for everything. What you need to do, is to also create a state for every Modal. Usually you create an array with unique id as key and boolean value. I assumed projectTitle is unique:
{
Test1: false,
Test2: false,
Test3: false
}
Because you don't know the length of your data, you just iterate over the array, as you have done for Cards und Modals:
const initialShowState = Object.fromEntries(
workData.map((data) => [data.projectTitle, false])
);
const [show, setShow] = React.useState(initialShowState);
Then you need to create a generic callback function, which takes the id of the Card and shows the appropriate Modal. I simplified the logic and created a toggle function:
const toggleShow = (id) =>
setShow((prev) => {
return { ...prev, [id]: !prev[id] };
});
Finally, when you render UI and iterate over workData, you need to apply the callback function to Button onClick and Modal onHide event handlers and set the show property of Modal:
<Button variant="link" onClick={() => toggleShow(data.projectTitle)}>
...
<Modal
show={show[data.projectTitle]}
onHide={() => toggleShow(data.projectTitle)}
dialogClassName="modal-95w"

That's it. Here is the working sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/hungry-sunset-t865t3
Some general tips:
You don't need the outer Fragment in Works as you only have one upper most element
If you use JSX syntax in your file, your extension should be .jsx and not.js (Works.jsx)
Using index as key in the list is bad practice. Find some unique id in your data
