i'm trying to make a axiosGET request to my react component, i get the object on the console.log. But when i try to render it i get a "is not defined"

//component 
const Clientslist = () => {
  const classes = useStyles()

  axios.get('/api/clients').then(resp => {
    const {clients} = resp.data
    console.log(clients) // i get the data on the terminal
    
  })

    return(
        ...
       {
          clients.map(client => ( //clients is not defined
              <Grid key={client._id} item xs={12} sm={6} md={4}>
                  <Card 
                    clientName={client.clientName}
                    ...
          )
       }

//controller 
   const get = async (req, res) => {
     await dbConnect()
     const clients = await ClientsModel.find()
     res.status(200).json({ success: true, clients})
   }

I thing my request code is poor, if someone helps me fix the problem and even a code refactor for a better and clean code. It would be great. Thanks.

>Solution :

your clients variable is defined inside the scope inside the axios callback, and can’t be accessed from outside, but if you modified it alittle bit, you can save it inside a local state variable, like: (3 new lines are marked with //***)

//component 
const Clientslist = () => {
  const classes = useStyles()
  //*** Adding clients var with initial value as empty array 
  const [clients, setClients] = useState([]) //***

  axios.get('/api/clients').then(resp => {
    const {clients} = resp.data
    console.log(clients) // i get the data on the terminal

    setClients(clients) //*** this would save the new clients in the sate
  })
