AJAX Request not receiving the property I want

I have to send an AJAX request to the following API: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts. and then sort the result by the "title" attribute (ascending order) and print by console.log

The problem here is that I don't get the title attribute instead I get a lot of this:

        }

        function sortList(ul) {
  var ul = document.getElementById(ul);

  Array.from(ul.getElementsByTagName("LI"))
    .sort((a, b) => a.textContent.localeCompare(b.textContent))
    .forEach(li => ul.appendChild(li));
}

sortList("response");

Am I accesing the data the wrong way? please advice, thanks in advance

Solution

  • The response is an array of objects, you need to get the string vaule of the title if you want to render it directly.

    document.getElementById('fetchJsonData').addEventListener('click', fetchJson);

function fetchJson() {
  fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(json => console.log(json))
}
document.getElementById('fetchJsonData').addEventListener('click', fetchJson);

function fetchJson() {
  fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(titles => {
      let output = '<h2>Lists of Titles</h2>';
      output += '<ul>';
      titles.sort((a, b) => a.title.localeCompare(b.title)).forEach((obj) => {
        output += `<li>${obj.title}</li>`;
      });
      output += '</ul>';

      document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = output;
    });
}
    <div>
  <h1>Getting Started With Fetch API</h1>
  <button id="fetchJsonData">Fetch User Data</button>
</div>
<hr>
<div id="response"></div>
