import React from 'react';

    // YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    const base = useBase();
    const table = base.getTableByName('events');
    const records = useRecords(table);

    const events = records.map(record => {

Field values are not a property of the record. You have to fetch them using record.getCellValue(name or ID of the field). Airtable Blocks SDK

I don’t know what you use for development but if I may suggest VSCode with Typescript as that would have highlighted the error for you by placing a red squiggly under e.g. record.Price. Also you would have discovered the getCellValue method suggested by Kamille when you typed a dot after record.

Better tools save you a ton of time :slightly_smiling_face:

thanks, it works

strange, that in manual there is similar example with record.name, which is declared as working

Both the id and name are public properties of a record, as described in the documentation.
