How would I go about retrieving the release_date and then removing everything from that except the year, in the example it would be 2022
There is MULTIPLE results that would need this so... im clueless on how to approach this.
const endpoint = `https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=${apikey}&language=en-US&page=1`;
const fetchMovies = (endpoint) => {
fetch(endpoint)
.then((result) => result.json())
.then((result) => {
console.log([...result.results]);
});
};
fetchMovies(endpoint);
[
{
adult: false,
backdrop_path: '/8pgKccb5PfE1kWB9qqiXJem83VC.jpg',

}
]
const endpoint = `https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=${apikey}&language=en-US&page=1`;
const fetchMovies = (endpoint) => {
fetch(endpoint)
.then((result) => result.json())
.then((result) => {
const res = result.results.map((movie) => {
const releaseYear = movie.release_date.split("-")[0];
return { ...movie, release_date: releaseYear }
});
console.log(res);
});
};
fetchMovies(endpoint);
Notice that, I am using map to get the same number of results back while modifying the release_date. We can split the date string by "-" and get the first index to retrieve only year part.
Use getFullYear(). If output = result.results then try this:
// output = result.results;
output = [

const res = output.map((movie) => {
movie.release_date = new Date(movie.release_date).getFullYear();
return movie;
});
console.log(res);
