Hi @yvens47 . Could you provide more context?

You can improve your chances for a reply by putting a minimal example to either JSFiddle, Code Sandbox, or StackBlitz. Describe what you want it to do, and things you've tried.

here is the jsfiddle.net/67eLg9ft/3/

I made the request to the google got a response and the response in the items state of the component but when I try to access property of some of the of the objects inside the Items state.
I am getting a type error; properties undefined.

I think it has something to do with this piece of code below inside the render method.
const { items } = this.state.items ? this.state : [];

or the code inside the ComponentDidmount Method
