I would like to count the length of my response JSON. Here's my code:

getMoviesFromApiAsync() {
return fetch('/' + CommonDataManager.getInstance().getUserID())
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((responseJson) => {
        this.setState({isLoading: false, listMessages: responseJson});    
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
    });
}

• 2 You are welcome. The community also prefers titles written in natural English. Grammatically, "React How to count the length of a JSON response" doesn't make a lot of sense (though I understand the purpose of using "ReactJS" as a home-made tag). However, since we have a tagging system, it is better to merge the "tag" into the question, or get rid of it completely, since it is already in the tag list. – halfer Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 8:37

Count the keys

  var myObject = {'key':'something', 'other-key':'something else','another-key': 'another thing'}
  var count = Object.keys(myObject).length;

Where myObject is your json response and count is the length of your object

This is the best way to count the json objects correctly

In your code you should add this in your second .then

var count = Object.keys(responseJson).length;
