TypeError: Invalid attempt to spread non-iterable instance

After compiling to android and downloading via Store I get the error:

"TypeError: Invalid attempt to spread non-iterable instance"

But using "react-native run-android" creates no error message therefor I can't find a good way to debug it.

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => {
    if (this._mounted) {
      // let dataSource = this.state.articlesDataSource.cloneWithRows(response.data || [])
      //var rowCount = dataSource.getRowCount();
      var rowCount = Object.keys(response.data).length;

      if (refresh == true) {
        prevData = {};
      } else {
        prevData = this.state.articlesData;
      }
      if (propSearch == "" || propSearch == null) {
        newArticlesData = [...prevData, ...response.data];
      } else {
        newArticlesData = response.data;
      }
      if (response.meta.next_page != null) {
        var rowCount = true;
      } else {
        var rowCount = Object.keys(newArticlesData).length;
      }
      if (this._mounted) {
        this.setState({
          isLoading: false,
          //articlesDataSource: this.state.articlesDataSource.cloneWithRows(response.data),
          articlesData: newArticlesData,
          nextPage: response.meta.next_page,
          fetchUrl: url,
          rowCount: rowCount
        });
      }
    }
  })
  .catch(error => {
    this.setState({
      errorFound: true,
      errorMassage: error,
      isLoading: false
    }); 
});

Thanks for any help.

I was getting the same error in a React app in iOS 7 even though Babel was configured to transpile any spread operators. Ultimately, it ended up being some odd issue with an import in my node_modules. The error was resolved after deleting my node_modules directory and simply reinstalling via yarn install (or npm install).

this is because you play around with objects but you trying to copy objects in the array

convert this line

newArticlesData = [...prevData, ...response.data];

to

 newArticlesData = {...prevData, ...response.data};

Your problem solved my code for this is

 fetch(url, {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        Accept: 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'x-sh-auth': userToken || userStoredToken,
      },
    })
      .then(response => response.text())
      .then(async responseText => {
        let responseData = JSON.parse(responseText);
        console.log('responseData HomeWhatsNewUser', responseData);
        if (responseData.code == 200) {
          setpageNumberwhatsnewap(pageNumberwhatsnewapi + 1);
          setiSloding(false);
          setWhatsNewAPiUser({...WhatsNewAPiUser, ...responseData});
          // setWhatsNewAPiUser(responseData);
          // setLoadMoreNewUserApiLink(responseData.load_more_url);
        } else {
          if (responseData.message === 'Your are un authorize') {
            await AsyncStorage.removeItem('@userData');
            await AsyncStorage.removeItem('@userToken');
            props.navigation.navigate('HomeScreen');
          }
          Toast.show({
            text1: responseData.message,
          });
          setiSloding(false);
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        setiSloding(false);
        console.log(error, 'error from APi');
      });
  };

const [myObj,setmyObj = useState({1:"one",2:"two",3:"three",4:"four"} )

where tries to

let newMyObj = [...myObj]   // this will give error as we are trying to iterate over obj by using [] , this way can we used when state is array.

Solution

let newMyObj = {...myObj} // this will works perfectly fine.Iteration is possible above way.

I was getting this crash in release android build only. release ios build and android debug build working perfectly.

After spending a few hours found solutions from the internet.

edit your .babelrc and add following into your plugins

[
      "@babel/plugin-transform-spread",
      {
        "loose": true
      }
    ]

so Here is my .babelrc file

{
  "presets": [
    "module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "syntax-trailing-function-commas",
    "@babel/plugin-transform-flow-strip-types",
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties",
    "@babel/plugin-transform-regenerator",
    "@babel/plugin-transform-async-to-generator",
    "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
    [
      "@babel/plugin-transform-spread",
      {
        "loose": true
      }
    ]
  ],
  "sourceMaps": true
}

I hope this answer helps someone and save few hours :)

This is because it is a runtime error, not a "compile time" error.

Is there a line number associated with the error? Based on the question being about the spread operator I'll assume it's this line: newArticlesData=[...prevData,...response.data]. I assume your prevData is iterable, but is your response data? Try newArticlesData=[...prevData, response.data]?

Here's an example of invalid spread operator use:

function trySpread(object) {
  let array;
  try {
    array = [...object];
    console.log('No error', array);
  } catch(error) {
    console.log('error', error);
  }
}

// error
trySpread({});
trySpread({foo: 'bar'});
trySpread(4);

// no error
trySpread([]);
trySpread(['foobar']);
trySpread('foobar');
