13,930 PointsPlease post your complete code, one could only guess as of now. Please note that your array looks like JSON. JSON is actually a string, you should parse it before trying to do something. If your example is supposed to be an array of objects, you need to remove the double quotes from the keys.
If I understand what you're trying to do, it should be something like this:
const exampleArray = [ { picture : "beach1.jpg" }, { picture : "beach2.jpg" }, { picture : "beach3.jpg" } ];
exampleArray.map( item => console.log(item.picture) );

7,717 Pointsurl2.txt is the address to array i mentioned above now when i see console it shows all the three images along with the undefined object in the end ''' var address = 'url2.txt'; var show = document.getElementById('show_pic'); var btn = document.getElementById('clickdata'); function getjson(file){ return new Promise((resolve,reject)=>{ const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('GET',file); xhr.onload = () =>{ if(xhr.status === 200){ let data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText); resolve(data);
} else{ reject(Error(xhr.statusText)); }
};
xhr.send();
});
}
function domapping(json){ json.map(pic=>{ return generateHtml(pic.picture); });
}
function generateHtml(data){ console.log(data); }
btn.addEventListener('click', () => { getjson(address) .then(domapping) .then(generateHtml) .then(data=>console.log(data)) .catch(err=>console.log(err))
});

.then(domapping)
.then(generateHtml)
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
The three console.log you correctly see, come from then(domapping) . The extra undefined line comes from then(generateHTML). Because the domapping function doesn't explicitly return anything, the promise resolves with an undefined value. The next then method takes that promise and passes its value (undefined) to the generateHTML function, which in turn prints it to the console.
