'An API is being hit when <Doclist/> component is rendered through "userlist.js" ,but not when the same component is rendered through "newuser.js"

inside userlist.js the code looks like

const renderItems = ({item}) => {
  if (item !== undefined) {
      const user = {
        image:'https://www.w3schools.com/w3images/avatar6.png',
        name: item.name,
        lastMessage: item.lastChat,
        time: item.latest_timestamp,
        seen: item.seen,
        id: item._id,
      };
  
      if(item._id!==userID)return <DocList user={user} nav={nav} sendToParents={fn} from="userlist"/>;
      else return null;
    }
    return null;
  };

  const DATA = [
    { 
      data: friends,
    },
  ];

  return (
    <View style={{marginTop:53,marginBottom:130}}>
      {friends.length==0?
         <View style={{alignSelf:'center',marginTop:90}}>

         <Text style={{textAlign:'center',fontWeight:'bold',marginTop:10,color:'#838383'}}>No recent chats !</Text>
         <Text style={{textAlign:'center',textAlign:'center',width:300,alignSelf:'center',color:'gray'}}>Not yet started conversation? press the green + icon to see the list of users you can chat with.</Text>
       </View>
      :
      <SectionList
      sections={DATA}
      keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
      renderItem={renderItems}
      renderSectionHeader={({section: {title}}) => (
        <View>{title}</View>
      )}>
      </SectionList> }
      
    </View>
  );
};

inside newuser.js it looks like

const handleRender = ({ item }) => {
    const user = {
      image: 'https://www.w3schools.com/w3images/avatar6.png',

    };
    return (
      <DocList user={user} nav={nav} sendToParents={handleCallback} from="newuser" />
    );
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <FlatList
        data={docs}
        keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}

    </View>

};

    paddingLeft:10,
    flexDirection: 'row',
    width: '100%',
    height: 78,
    marginTop: 10,
    marginBottom: 10,

    flex: 1,
    marginLeft: 5,
    justifyContent: 'space-around',
  },
  userInfo: {
    flexDirection: 'row',
    justifyContent: 'space-between',
    padding: 5,
  },
});

through userlist.js the console.log prints 2, response data and status , but through newuser it doesn't print these things although it prints 1, URL, data. It means there's some problem there itself but in the former case, it does hit the API and logs in the backend too, but in the latter case it doesn't hit and doesn't log anything there in the backend.



Solution 1:[1]

Check if the item parameter is correctly passed to the handleRender function in newuser.js. Also check in the Networks Tab in console whether is it actually hitting the API or because of authentication issue the call must be getting rejected.
