how to display nested items using fetchData method in react.js

Question

I'm able to fetch the data but not sure how to map nested items data looks like that

{"id":3,
      "brands":[{"id":6,"products":[],    
                 "title":"Lenovo",
                 "image":"/img.png",
                 "timestamp":"2022-02-07T15:11:36.059719+05:30",
                 "updated":"2022-02-07T15:11:36.059719+05:30",
                 "category":3}],
"title":"Laptop",
"image":"/img.png",
"timestamp":"2022-01-30T23:18:14.124583+05:30",
"updated":"2022-01-30T23:18:14.124583+05:30"}

I'm using following method to do this.

const CategoriesToBrands = ({ match }) => {
  const [hasError, setErrors] = useState(false);
  const [items, setItems] = useState({});
  const { id } = useParams();
  async function fetchData() {
    const data  = await fetch("/api/v1/categories/nested/" + id);
    data.json()
      .then(data => setItems(data))
      .catch(data => setErrors(data));
  }
  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData()
  }, [])

  return (
    <div>
      <div>{JSON.stringify(items)}</div>
      <hr />
        {items.title}
      <hr />
      <div>Has error: {JSON.stringify(hasError)}</div>
    </div>
  );
};
export default CategoriesToBrands;

I also tried multiple method suggested on stack overflow to map the items but no one seems to be working . or they are using another method . there can be multiple number of items in brands [] and i want to display each one of them for now there is one.. So what would be the syntax or method to map them properly.

You have an brands array inside your main object fetched by async request. It means you should to get brands by items.brands. Something like that:

const CategoriesToBrands = ({ match }) => {
  const [hasError, setErrors] = useState(false);
  const [items, setItems] = useState({});
  const { id } = useParams();
  async function fetchData() {
    const data  = await fetch("/api/v1/categories/nested/" + id);
    data.json()
      .then(data => setItems(data))
      .catch(data => setErrors(data));
  }
  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData()
  }, [])

  return (
    <div>
      <div>{JSON.stringify(items)}</div>
      <hr />
        {items.title}
      <hr />
      {items.brands ? items.brands.map(brand => (
         <div key={brand.id}>brand id: {brand.id}</div>
      )) : null}
      <div>Has error: {JSON.stringify(hasError)}</div>
    </div>
  );
};
export default CategoriesToBrands;

The good idea is also changing the name of your const [items, setItems] = useState({});. In your case you are fetching one item, not multiple (I assume this fact by your id variable). So the name like item, setItem sounds better.
