Hi! I just finished coding this exercise. The code didn’t manage to generate movie info by clicking the button or to get the dropdown to work. Here is my code.
const tmdbKey = ‘’;
const tmdbBaseUrl = ‘https://api.themoviedb.org/3’;
const playBtn = document.getElementById(‘playBtn’);
const getGenres = async () => {
const genreRequestEndpoint = ‘/genre/movie/list’;
const requestParams = ?api_key=${tmdbKey};
const urlToFetch = ${tmdbBaseUrl}${genreRequestEndpoint}${requestParams};
try{
const response = await fetch(urlToFetch);
if(response.ok){
const jsonResponse = response.json();
const genres = jsonResponse.genres;
return genres;
}
}
catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
};
const getMovies = async() => {
const selectedGenre = getSelectedGenre();
const discoverMovieEndpoint = ‘/discover/movie’;
const requestParams = ?api_key=${tmdbKey}&with_genres=${selectedGenre};
const urlToFetch = ${tmdbBaseUrl}${discoverMovieEndpoint}${requestParams};
try {
const response = await fetch(urlToFetch);
if(response.ok){
jsonResponse = response.json();
const movies = jsonResponse.results;
return movies;
}
}
catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
};
const getMovieInfo = async (movie) => {
const movieId = movie.id;
const movieEndpoint = ‘/movie/${movie.Id}’
};
const requestParams = ?api_key=${tmdbKey};
const urlToFetch = ${tmdbBaseUrl}${movieEndpoint}${requestParams};
try{
const response = await fetch(urlToFetch);
if(response.ok){
const movieInfo = response.json();
return movieInfo;
}
}
catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
// Gets a list of movies and ultimately displays the info of a random movie from the list
const showRandomMovie = async () => {
const movieInfo = document.getElementById(‘movieInfo’);
if (movieInfo.childNodes.length > 0) {
clearCurrentMovie();
};
const movies = await getMovies();
const randomMovie = getRandomMovie(movies);
const info = await getMovieInfo(randomMovie);
displayMovie(info);
};
getGenres().then(populateGenreDropdown);
playBtn.onclick = showRandomMovie;
