Render Items from an Array after a Fixed Interval in React

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023

In this kit, we're going to see how to render items from an array after a fixed interval in React with simple steps. To render multiple JSX elements in React, you can loop through an array with the . map() method and return a single element. In the next example, you will examine why you would want to add a unique key to a list of elements rendered by an array. Use the set interval method inside the function to change the state after a fixed amount of time. setInterval method takes two parameter callback and time. The callback function is called again and again after that given amount of time. Use the setState method to change the state of the component. To implement this task, use the ready-made code snippet below by just copying the code and paste it in your IDE with React library. Explore more top trending libraries and snippets on kandi.

Code

In this solution we're using React library.

class Main extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      role: ["a","b","c"],
      display: "",
    }
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    var index = 0;
    this.timer = setInterval(() => {
      this.setState({ display: this.state.role[index]});
      index  = (index + 1)%(this.state.role.length);
    }, 2000)
  }

  componentWillUnmounnt() {
    clearInterval(this.timer);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
          <h3>{this.state.display}</h3>
      </React.Fragment>
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<Main />, document.getElementById('root'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/16.6.3/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/16.6.3/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>
<div id="root"/>

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
cd foldername.
Open the folder in IDE.
Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in index.js file(remove the earlier code from index.js) then paste the script tag in index.html file.
Import React and ReactDOM in index.js file.
Open the terminal from IDE.
npm start to run the file.
