How to use useEffect inside map function?

Question

I have two tables in Firebase: Vouchers & ClaimedVouchers. I am trying to display the vouchers that do not appear in the ClaimedVouchers table. So, I have a query that gets

Your isClaimed is an async function, meaning that it returns a promise - or a delayed result. If you want to wait for the result when calling isClaimed, you'll need to use await:

await isClaimed(voucher.voucherID, uid);
console.log(result);

This most likely isn't possible in a render method though, which is why (as Asutosh commented) you'll have to store the result in the state, and then use the state in your render method.

So the setup you need is:

• Start the loading of all your data in componentDidMount or with useEffect.
• When the data is loaded, put it in the state with setState or a state hook.
• Use the data in your render method.
