Connecting admin-on-rest with Rails Api - admin-on-rest

Question

I'm having a really difficult time connecting admin-on-rest with my rails api. I've been following the tutorial walk through at https://marmelab.com/admin-on-rest/Tutorial.html but when I point to my localhost is where all the trouble starts.
Response

"id": 13,
"name": "Event 1",
"description": "test"
},

},
{
"id": 17,
"name": "Event 3",
"description": "Hey this is a test"
},
{
"id": 18,

"description": "Yay, it work"
},

events.js

TextField, EditButton, DisabledInput, TextInput, LongTextInput, DateInput, Show, Tab, TabbedShowLayout } from 'admin-on-rest';

const EventTitle = translate(({ record, translate }) => (
<span>
{record ? translate('event.edit.name', { title: record.name }) : ''}
</span>
));
export const EventList = (props) => (
<List {...props}>
<Datagrid>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextField source="name" />
<TextField source="description" />
<DateField source="date" />
<ImageField source="flyer" />
<EditButton basePath="/events" />
</Datagrid>
</List>
);
The error i receive current is Cannot read property 'data' of undefined but I can verify through my logs that the data is being received correctly.

Answer 1

Try using data as the root level key in your json response. Change events to data, for example:
{
"data": [
{
"id": 13,
"name": "Event 1",
"description": "test"
},
{
"id": 16,
"name": "Event 2",
"description": "dsadfa adf asd"
}
],
"meta": {...}
}
