Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map') error in mern stack project

In my project, I try to fetch data from the backend to display in the frontend using fetch API. Each time I do this I get Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map') error. When I check the console, I get a fulfilled promise.

I console.log the setState function to see what data is logged there but it returned undefined. why is my setState undefined? 

In my backend, data displays fine when I test on thunder client in vscode. I also paste http://localhost:8080/data' in chrome and it also works.

why is data undefined?


//parent component
const Shopstore =  ()  => {

//  const { dataProducts } = useProductsQuery()
 const [dataProducts, setData ] = useState([])
 
  const url = 'http://localhost:8080/data'


  useEffect(()=> {

  const fetchfunc = async ()=> {
     try {
      const response = await fetch(url)
   
      if(!response.ok){
         throw new Error("network issues pls wait ");  
      }
      const data = await response.json()
       //this console.log returns a fulfilled promise
       console.log(data)

    //this console.log part returns undefined
     console.log( setData( data.dataProducts ));
       


     } catch (error) {
      console.log('error', error)
     }
  }
    

   fetchfunc()

  }, [] )

  


  return (
   
      <div className='Shopstore mt-5'>

           { dataProducts ? dataProducts.map((product)=> {
               return(
               <Listings key={product._id } { ... product } />
             
               )
           })  : <p>no data</p> }

          
            
          </Col>
      </Row>

      </div>
