I found this tutorial article about creating MERN project . All is working fine, but what I'm confused with this code inside ponentDidMount() function in MoviesList.jsx file:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import ReactTable from 'react-table'
import api from '../api'

import styled from 'styled-ponents'

import 'react-table/react-table.css'

const Wrapper = styled.div`
    padding: 0 40px 40px 40px;
`

class MoviesList extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)
        this.state = {
            movies: [],
            columns: [],
            isLoading: false,
        }
    }

    ponentDidMount = async () => {
        this.setState({ isLoading: true })

        await api.getAllMovies().then(movies => {
            this.setState({
                movies: movies.data.data,
                isLoading: false,
            })
        })
    }

    render() {
        const { movies, isLoading } = this.state
        console.log('TCL: MoviesList -> render -> movies', movies)

        const columns = [
            {
                Header: 'ID',
                accessor: '_id',
                filterable: true,
            },
            {
                Header: 'Name',
                accessor: 'name',
                filterable: true,
            },
            {
                Header: 'Rating',
                accessor: 'rating',
                filterable: true,
            },
            {
                Header: 'Time',
                accessor: 'time',
                Cell: props => <span>{props.value.join(' / ')}</span>,
            },
        ]

        let showTable = true
        if (!movies.length) {
            showTable = false
        }

        return (
            <Wrapper>
                {showTable && (
                    <ReactTable
                        data={movies}
                        columns={columns}
                        loading={isLoading}
                        defaultPageSize={10}
                        showPageSizeOptions={true}
                        minRows={0}
                    />
                )}
            </Wrapper>
        )
    }
}

export default MoviesList

Why we have to set the isLoading: true in this code this.setState({ isLoading: true }), then set it back to false with this code :

await api.getAllMovies().then(movies => {
            this.setState({
                movies: movies.data.data,
                isLoading: false,
            })
        })

I've been struggling with this question for almost a week. I really need help in understanding this code. Thank you in advance.

You need to somehow show the user that page is loading data and data hasn't been loaded yet. ReactTable has a property for this (loading and I think it also has loadingText too to display a message while loading/fetching data), so when you load your page, isLoading is set to true

When your async/await code finishes and data is fetched from url, the isLoading is set to false and ReactTable is updated accordingly.

In your case here the benefite is to aware your ReactTable ponent when data is available.

But in many cases you will use this to tell your users. Hey I'm performing a task behind right now, while that task is ongoing you can show a spinner or a simple text like "please hold on we're veryfing your account" to let him know you actually performing a task and that improve UX.

You can ignore it, it is not necessary to the run the code. even for the loader it is enough to check movies.length > 0, so remove it
