React Native to fetch from a REST API won't work because of hyphen












1















My fetch returns this promise which works for other fields in the API but I need to save the value for a field within that has the name "datasets-pollencheck_apiaries" however react-native inteprets the "-" as something else and I can't access this field, and continually get the error that says "Can't find variable: pollencheck_apiaries"



.then((response) => response.json())
.then((responseJson) => {
LINK = responseJson.links.datasets-pollencheck_apiaries;

})


Any insight would be much appreciated.

          This is because JavaScript thinks you're trying to do a math operation. You can also access object properties with bracket notation.



          You should try this:



          LINK = responseJson.links['datasets-pollencheck_apiaries']
