As a newcomer to Javascript, I have a query that may seem silly. I am attempting to parse JSON in the main function of Nextjs. However, when I try to parse JSON in the main function before the return statement, I encounter the error
SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1export default function Home() {
const countries = JSON.parse({"data":{"countries":[{"name":"Canada"}]})
return (
<pre>{JSON.stringify(countries)}</pre>
)
}
UPDATE
Regarding Question Details
The previous comment did provide a solution to the earlier question. Thank you to @boop_the_snoot and @Anvay. However, the issue I am trying to address is not exactly the same as the one resolved.
I have a Nextjs route
[forecastCategory]/[xquote]/[forecastid].jsimport {pathsData} from "@/components/Data"
export default function ForecastID({ stocksString}) {
//var myStocks = JSON.parse(stocksString)
return (
<>
<pre>{stocksString}</pre>
</>
);
}
export const getStaticProps = async (ctx) => {
// JSON STRING DIRECTLY ENTERED HERE.
