React Native Variable Undefined-CodePudding

Im not understanding why my varaible is undefined, i firstly declare my variable geojsonData as a let so i am able to change the values later in the code. In my useEffect where i use an if statement to check if check if the visibility is true, i set my geojsonData's value. However, in the return of the function my values are not set.

Is there a way i can set the geojson data?

let geojsonData;
...
useEffect(() => {
if(componentVisible == true){
   geojsonData = { 
    type: Type,
    features: [
      {
        type: featuresType,
        properties: {},
        geometry: {
          type: geometryType,
          coordinates: coordinate,
        },
      },
    ],
  };
});
...
return (
<View>
   <Geojson geojson={geojsonData}/>
</View>

After a suggestion in the answer section, i have changed my code to use useState hook. However i am still getting an error for type: Type where it "is not assignable to parameter of type '(prevState: undefined) => undefined'." Updated Code:

const[geojsonData, setGeoData] = useState()
...
useEffect(() => {
if(componentVisible == true){
   setGeoData({ 
    type: Type,
    features: [
      {
        type: featuresType,
        properties: {},
        geometry: {
          type: geometryType,
          coordinates: coordinate,
        },
      },
    ],
  });
});
...
return (
<View>
   <Geojson geojson={geojsonData}/>
</View>

CodePudding user response：

You won't find it effective to change a let variable like that inside a function component. Instead, you should use a useState hook.

const [geojsonData, setGeojsonData] = useState();
//...
useEffect(() => {
   if(componentVisible == true){
     setGeojsonData(
       //include your data here
     );
   }
},[componentVisible]); //remember to include your dependencies
//...
return (
<View>
   <Geojson geojson={geojsonData}/>
</View>

That being said, since you don't appear to actually be getting any new data in your useEffect call, it might be more effective to just use a conditional render:

let geojsonData = //your data
return (
<View>
  {componentVisible ? <Geojson geojson={geojsonData}/> : null}
</View>
);
