How to trigger alert on click OR press of enter button-CodePudding

I am playing with W3School's autocomplete and I set it up to show an alert when an item from the dropdown autocomplete menu is clicked, but now I want to make it have the same functionality for when a user hits enter as well but only if the user input matches a country exactly (case insensitive). They should not be able to trigger the alert with enter if they partially typed a country name.

I have tried setting multiple event listeners, as well as using one to call two different functions, but I am not understanding the logic behind what I'm trying to complete.

function autocomplete(inp, arr) {
  /*the autocomplete function takes two arguments,
  the text field element and an array of possible autocompleted values:*/
  var currentFocus;
  /*execute a function when someone writes in the text field:*/
  inp.addEventListener("input", function(e) {
    var a, b, i, val = this.value;
    /*close any already open lists of autocompleted values*/
    closeAllLists();
    if (!val) {
      return false;
    }
    currentFocus = -1;
    /*create a DIV element that will contain the items (values):*/
    a = document.createElement("DIV");
    a.setAttribute("id", this.id   "autocomplete-list");
    a.setAttribute("class", "autocomplete-items");
    /*append the DIV element as a child of the autocomplete container:*/
    this.parentNode.appendChild(a);
    /*for each item in the array...*/
    for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i  ) {
      /*check if the item starts with the same letters as the text field value:*/
      if ((arr[i].toUpperCase()).includes(val.toUpperCase())) {
        /*create a DIV element for each matching element:*/
        b = document.createElement("DIV");
        b.innerHTML  = arr[i];
        /*insert a input field that will hold the current array item's value:*/
        b.innerHTML  = "<input type='hidden' value='"   arr[i]   "'>";
        if (arr[i].toUpperCase() == val.toUpperCase()) {
          closeAllLists();
        }
        // if (e.keyCode == 13 && acList === null && document.getElementById("inputField").value.length != 0)
        /*execute a function when someone clicks on the item value (DIV element):*/
        b.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
          /*insert the value for the autocomplete text field:*/
          inp.value = this.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value;
                    alert('clicked');
          /*close the list of autocompleted values,
          (or any other open lists of autocompleted values:*/
          closeAllLists();
        });
        a.appendChild(b);
      }
    }
  });
  /*execute a function presses a key on the keyboard:*/
  inp.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
    var x = document.getElementById(this.id   "autocomplete-list");
    if (x) x = x.getElementsByTagName("div");
    if (e.keyCode == 40) {
      /*If the arrow DOWN key is pressed,
      increase the currentFocus variable:*/
      currentFocus  ;
      /*and and make the current item more visible:*/
      addActive(x);
    } else if (e.keyCode == 38) { //up
      /*If the arrow UP key is pressed,
      decrease the currentFocus variable:*/
      currentFocus--;
      /*and and make the current item more visible:*/
      addActive(x);
    } else if (e.keyCode == 13) {
      /*If the ENTER key is pressed, prevent the form from being submitted,*/
      e.preventDefault();
      if (currentFocus > -1) {
        /*and simulate a click on the "active" item:*/
        if (x) x[currentFocus].click();
      }
    }
  });

  function addActive(x) {
    /*a function to classify an item as "active":*/
    if (!x) return false;
    /*start by removing the "active" class on all items:*/
    removeActive(x);
    if (currentFocus >= x.length) currentFocus = 0;
    if (currentFocus < 0) currentFocus = (x.length - 1);
    /*add class "autocomplete-active":*/
    x[currentFocus].classList.add("autocomplete-active");
  }

  function removeActive(x) {
    /*a function to remove the "active" class from all autocomplete items:*/
    for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i  ) {
      x[i].classList.remove("autocomplete-active");
    }
  }

  function closeAllLists(elmnt) {
    /*close all autocomplete lists in the document,
    except the one passed as an argument:*/

Trivial to add

I must comment that the code is another example of why I never recommend w3schools. It is suboptimal. In any case here is what you need added without changing the other code

const capitalize = s => s && s[0].toUpperCase()   s.slice(1)

} else if (e.keyCode == 13) {
  /*If the ENTER key is pressed, prevent the form from being submitted,*/
  e.preventDefault();
  if (countries.includes(capitalize(this.value))) alert("Found")
  if (currentFocus > -1) {
    /*and simulate a click on the "active" item:*/
    if (x) x[currentFocus].click();
  }
}

use keypress for enter button. use click for mouse click.
