Why am I getting an uncaught type error when using map in React JS jsx?

I'm creating a component for selecting an input based on available options in my courses object.

I'm currently getting this error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined

Here is my code:

const SelectInput = ({name, label, onChange, defaultOption, value, error, options}) => {
    return (
        <div className="form-group">
            <label htmlFor={name}>{label}</label>
            <div className="field">
                {/* Note, value is set here rather than on the option - docs*/}
                <select name={name} value={value} onChange={onChange} className="form-control">
                <option value="">{defaultOption}</option>
                {options.map((option) => {
                    return <option key={option.value} value={option.value}>{option.text}</option>;  
                })}
                </select>
                {error && <div className="alert alert-danger">{error}</div>}
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

Anyone knows the reason?

You expect that options are an array but you provide undefined options prop, so there is no map method for undefined

Provide not undefined options or try this:

const SelectInput = ({name, label, onChange, defaultOption, value, error, options = []}) => {
  ...
}
