uncaught in promises in vanilla js-CodePudding

I am making some mapping with moviedb api using innerhtml, the problem i am having is with the Main.appendChild where the appendChild is handle as a property and not as a function. I am having the same issue in the console with the entire main array and i think it might having something to do with the fact that i am declering the main object to a htmlelemnt then to a array. Btw i have given up on this project hence it wasnt worth the extra time that it took this is kinda of a filler part so excuse me pls.

const API_KEY = "api_key=0a2c754df24f03f4197199045aedf7de";
const BASE_URL = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3";
const API_URL = BASE_URL   "/discover/movie?sort_by=popularity.desc&"   API_KEY;
const IMG_URL = "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500";

const main = document.getElementById("main");
getMovies(API_URL);

function getMovies(url) {
  fetch(url).then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
      console.log(data.results);
      showMovies(data.results);
    })
}

function showMovies(data) {
  main.innerHTML = " ";

  data.forEach(main => {
    const { title, vote_average, overview, poster_path } = main;

    const movieEl = document.createElement("div");
    movieEl.classList.add("movie");
    movieEl.innerHTML = `
  
                <img
                  src="${IMG_URL   poster_path} alt-""${title}"

                Max and Annie's weekly game night gets kicked up a notch when
                Max's brother Brooks arranges a murder mystery party -- complete
                with fake thugs and federal agents. So when Brooks gets
                kidnapped, it's all supposed to be part of the game.

You have two variables named 'main', one is the getElementById and the other is from the forEach loop. Change one and it should work

const BASE_URL = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3";
const API_URL = BASE_URL   "/discover/movie?sort_by=popularity.desc&"   API_KEY;
const IMG_URL = "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500";

const mainEl = document.getElementById("main");
getMovies(API_URL);

function getMovies(url) {
  fetch(url)
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((data) => {
      console.log(data.results);
      showMovies(data.results);
    });
}

function showMovies(data) {
  main.innerHTML = " ";

  data.forEach((main) => {
    const { title, vote_average, overview, poster_path } = main;

    const movieEl = document.createElement("div");
    movieEl.classList.add("movie");
    movieEl.innerHTML = `
  
                <img
                  src="${IMG_URL   poster_path} alt-""${title}"
                />
              </a>
            </div>
            <div class="list-content">
              <h2>
                <a href="single-movie.html" class="text-black"
                  ></a
                >
              </h2>
              <span class="list-meta">
                <span class="list-meta-item"
                  ><i class="fas fa-clock"></i> 2018</span
                >
                <a href="#" class="list-meta-item"
                  ><i class="fas fa-star"></i> ${vote_average}</a
                >
              </span>
              <p>
                ${overview}
              </p>
            </div>
          
    `;

    mainEl.appendChild(movieEl);
  });
}

CodePudding user response：

In the forEach loop you are declaring each array item as ‘main’. Therefore main.appendChild() is called upon the array item, not on the HTML element.

Change the item name in the forEach loop to something like ‘movie’, and then ofcourse also in the first line of the loop.
