I am trying to loop through arrays of data which then displayed in the html table. I am able to create a new object and pass the data in the object to an empty array. However, the problem that I am facing right now is that the arrays data is not showing in the table. At the same time, there are no errors shown in the console. I checked all info in the function addToHTML() and it supposed to be correct.I have no idea what I did wrong ? The following are the javascript and html code :
// Main Book object model
function Book(title, author, pages, read) {
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
this.pages = pages;
this.read = read;
}
// Library object model
function Library() {
this.myLibrary = [];
this.addToLibrary = function(myLibrary) {
this.myLibrary.push(myLibrary);
}
}
// Create new book object
let book1 = new Book('Awaken the Giant Within', 'Tony Robbins', '351', 'already read');
let book2 = new Book('Think and Grow Rich', 'Napoleon Hill', '271', 'currently reading');
let book3 = new Book('Rich Dad Poor Dad', 'Robert T. Kiyosaki', '289', 'finish read');
// Create new library object
let library = new Library();
// Add books to the empty array
library.addToLibrary(book1);
library.addToLibrary(book2);
library.addToLibrary(book3);
// Function to add main Book to HTML content
function addToHTML() {
for (let i=0; i < library.myLibrary.length ; i ) {
let dataContainer = document.querySelector('#dataContainer');
let titleColumn = document.getElementById('title');
let authorColumn = document.getElementById('author');
let pagesColumn = document.getElementById('pages');
let readColumn = document.getElementById('read');
let book_title = library.myLibrary[i].titleColumn;
let book_author = library.myLibrary[i].authorColumn;
let book_pages = library.myLibrary[i].pagesColumn;
let book_read = library.myLibrary[i].readColumn;
titleColumn.textContent = book_title;
authorColumn.textContent = book_author;
pagesColumn.textContent = book_pages;
readColumn.textContent = book_read;
dataContainer.appendChild(titleColumn);
dataContainer.appendChild(authorColumn);
dataContainer.appendChild(pagesColumn);
dataContainer.appendChild(readColumn);
}
}
console.log(library.myLibrary);
addToHTML();
