Dynamic Menu

[coopernicholas]

I am trying to populate _nav with data coming from my API. I have been scratching my head on this for a while and wanted to see if anyone could shed some light. Please see code below. It breaks when the sub items are being called by the subNav function.

function subNav(parentID) {


  axios.get('api/sql', {
    params: {
      table: 'main_menu'
    }
    })
    .then(response => {
      response.data.map((elements) => {
  if (elements.parentID == parentID){
          var type = 'CNavItem'
          const subnav = [{
            component: navtype[type],
            name: elements.menuName,
            to: '/'+elements.menuName.toLowerCase(),
          }]   

          return subnav

        }
      })
      })


}


export function getNav() { 
  const [nav, setNav] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {

  axios.get('api/sql', {
  params: {
    table: 'main_menu'
  }
  })
  .then(response => {

    response.data.map((element) => {

      if (element.isLink == '1' && element.parentID == null){
        var type = 'CNavItem'
        const icon = element.icon
        const newnav = [{
          component: navtype[type],
          name: element.menuName,
          to: '/'+element.menuName.toLowerCase(),
          icon: <CIcon icon={icons[icon]} customClassName="nav-icon" />,
        }]
        setNav((prevNav) => prevNav.concat(newnav));
      }

      if (element.isGroup == '1' && element.parentID == null){

        var type = 'CNavGroup'
        const icon = element.icon
        const newnav = [{
          component: navtype[type],
          name: element.menuName,
          icon: <CIcon icon={icons[icon]} customClassName="nav-icon" />,
          items: subNav(element.menuID)
        }]

        setNav((prevNav) => prevNav.concat(newnav));
      }

      if (element.isHeader == '1'){
        var type = 'CNavTitle'
        const newnav = [{
          component: navtype[type],
          name: element.menuName,
        }]
        setNav((prevNav) => prevNav.concat(newnav));
      }


      })
      

  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
  
}, []);


return nav


}
export default getNav
