I am making some mapping with moviedb api using innerhtml, the problem i am having is with the Main.appendChild where the appendChild is handle as a property and not as a function. I am having the same issue in the console with the entire main array and i think it might having something to do with the fact that i am declering the main object to a htmlelemnt then to a array. Btw i have given up on this project hence it wasnt worth the extra time that it took
this is kinda of a filler part so excuse me pls.
const API_KEY = "api_key=0a2c754df24f03f4197199045aedf7de";
const BASE_URL = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3";
const API_URL = BASE_URL + "/discover/movie?sort_by=popularity.desc&" + API_KEY;
const IMG_URL = "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500";
const main = document.getElementById("main");
getMovies(API_URL);
function getMovies(url) {
fetch(url).then(res => res.json())
.then(data => {
console.log(data.results);
showMovies(data.results);
})
}
function showMovies(data) {
main.innerHTML = " ";
data.forEach(main => {
const { title, vote_average, overview, poster_path } = main;
const movieEl = document.createElement("div");
movieEl.classList.add("movie");
movieEl.innerHTML = `
<img
src="${IMG_URL + poster_path} alt-""${title}"
/>

You have two variables named ‘main’, one is the
getElementById
and the other is from theforEach
loop. Change one and it should workSandbox Code
In the forEach loop you are declaring each array item as ‘main’.
Therefore main.appendChild() is called upon the array item, not on the HTML element.
Change the item name in the forEach loop to something like ‘movie’, and then ofcourse also in the first line of the loop.
