I created an array called animals containing two objects. I want to get a value from the name variable in the object animals and insert that value in a return statement in the map method. I used ${} to access the variable.
const Animals = [{
name: "Lion",
type: "Carnivore",
},
{
name: "Cow",
type: "Herbivore",
},
];
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
let display = Animals.map(function(item) {
return '<h1>${item.name}</h1>';
});
console.log(display);
});Now I'm supposed to get in the console an array of two items containing the values of the variables -- the result should look like this ['<h1>Lion</h1>', '<h1>Cow</h1>']. But instead I get this ['<h1>${item.name}</h1>', '<h1>${item.name}</h1>']. As you can clearly see, for some reason the ${} was unable to access the variable and get the value. I don't know why this's happening. Console log shows no errors. Plz help me resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.
Check in your code instead of:
'<h1>${item.name}</h1>'
Should be:
`<h1>${item.name}</h1>`
Here is the documentation for Template literals (Template strings)
Demo:
const Animals = [{
name: "Lion",
type: "Carnivore",
},
{
name: "Cow",
type: "Herbivore",
},
]
const display = Animals.map(({ name }) => `<h1>${name}</h1>`)
console.log(display)Variables inside ${...} structures are template/string literals syntax but in order for them to work they need to be enclosed with backticks instead of single/double quotes.
const animals=[{name:"Lion",type:"Carnivore"},{name:"Cow",type:"Herbivore"}];
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
const display = animals.map(function(item) {
return `<h1>${item.name}</h1>`;
});
console.log(display);
});const Animals = [{
name: "Lion",
type: "Carnivore",
},
{
name: "Cow",
type: "Herbivore",
},
];
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
let display = Animals.map(function(item) {
return '<h1>'+item.name+'</h1>';
// return `<h1>${item.name}</h1>`;
});
console.log(display);
});
