I tried to request data from this server address https://codexpression.github.io/catz/catz.json
using AJAX XMLHttpRequest, but when I tried to console.log
the property value of the text, I keep getting "undefined", please find code below:
function getData() {
let requestObject = new XMLHttpRequest(); //create XMLHttpRequest Object
requestObject.onreadystatechange = function() { //create an onstatechange function
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { //check if request is successful
// myFunction(this)
let convert = JSON.parse(this.responseText)
console.log(convert.all.text)
}
};
requestObject.open("GET", "https://codexpression.github.io/catz/catz.json", true); //get the document address and send request
requestObject.send()
}
getData()
console.log(convert.all) works, however, it returns an array,
You will have to loop through the array to get individual elements and then be able to access the .text, or you target a specific index in the array to get the specific .text
for example
const allCats = convert.all
to access all texts , loop through all cats
for(let i = 0; i= allCats.length; i++){
const cat = allCats[i]
const getTexts = cat.text
console.log(getTexts)
}
to target a specific text in the list of cats
allCats[index].text
