I am working on a random quote app. Quote is display when click a new quote button but I want quote already display when page loads. I invoked a function but it still does not work. Thank you!
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
function randomQuote() {
$('#get-quote').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// Using jQuery
$.ajax( {
url: "http://quotes.stormconsultancy.co.uk/random.json",
dataType: "jsonp",
type: 'GET',
success: function(json) {
// do something with data
console.log(json);
data = json[0];
$('#quotation').html('"'+json.quote+'"');
$('#author').html('-- '+json.author+' --');
$('a.twitter-share-button').attr('data-text',json.quote);
},
});
});
$('#share-quote').on('click', function() {
var tweetQuote=$('#quotation').html();
var tweetAuthor=$('#author').html();
var url='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=' + encodeURIComponent(tweetQuote+"\n"+tweetAuthor);
window.open(url)
});
}
randomQuote();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Try removing click listener. inside randomeQuote() remove click listener.
keep your click listener out side of document.ready
$(document).ready(function() {
randomQuote(); // call initially and get random quote
});
function randomQuote() {
$.ajax( {
url: "https://quotes.stormconsultancy.co.uk/random.json",
dataType: "jsonp",
type: 'GET',
success: function(json) {
// do something with data
data = json[0];
$('#quotation').html('"'+json.quote+'"');
$('#author').html('-- '+json.author+' --');
$('a.twitter-share-button').attr('data-text',json.quote);
},
});
$('#share-quote').on('click', function() {
var tweetQuote=$('#quotation').html();
var tweetAuthor=$('#author').html();
var url='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=' + encodeURIComponent(tweetQuote+"\n"+tweetAuthor);
window.open(url)
});
}
$('#get-quote').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
randomQuote();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="get-quote">get quote</button>
<div id="quotation"></div>
