Why isn't my API mapping properly in React?

I am trying to map through OpenBrewery’s API but when I try to pull data from it it continues to come up undefined. My code:

import axios from "axios";
import "../styles/List.css";
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import BrewCard from "../components/BrewCard";

// data-types: brewery_type, city, country, id, name, phone, latitude, longitude, postal_code, state, street, website_url

const List = () => {
  const [brew, setBrew] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const getBrew = async () => {
      let newBrew = await axios.get(
        "https://api.openbrewerydb.org/breweries?by_city=atlanta"
      );

      setBrew(newBrew.data);
    };
    getBrew();
  }, []);

  console.log(brew);

  return brew.length > 1 ? (
    <div className={`main-bg-color list-container`}>
      {brew.map((beer) => {
        <p>{beer.name}</p>;

      })}
    </div>
  ) : (
    <div>Loading</div>
  );
};

export default List;

The console.log shows that ‘brew’ has the data but when I try to map (such as my beer.name p tag), it shows ‘undefined’. I’m not sure what I’m missing. Just for clarification this is what I receive when I console.log the data:

(20) [{…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}]

I tried mapping through the API as normal but it seems I’m somehow not reaching into the json structure properly. I need to be able to map elements of this API to create a React page that lists all results.

>Solution :

You are missing a return in the map
function for the p element.
Change your code from

{brew.map((beer) => {
    <p>{beer.name}</p>;
})}

to

{brew.map((beer) => {
    return <p>{beer.name}</p>;
})}

or do it inline like this

{brew.map((beer) => <p>{beer.name}</p>)}
