NOTE: Need to implement this without the use of jQuery or any other open source code.
Here is what I have
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Model</title>
<script src="js.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Browse all our products below:</h1>
Name: <span id="name"></span><br>
Desc: <span id="desc"></span><br>
Cost: <span id="cost"></span><br>
Stock: <span id="stock"></span>
</body>
</html>
js.js is below
var getProducts = function(){
console.log("Getting Products...");
var success = function() {
var product = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
console.log(product);
document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = product.name;
document.getElementById("desc").innerHTML = product.desc;
document.getElementById("cost").innerHTML = product.cost;
document.getElementById("stock").innerHTML = product.stock;
}
};
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "back.php");
xhr.addEventListener("load", success);
xhr.send();
};
window.addEventListener("load", getProducts);
back.php returns the following from a database. They have been json_encoded:
{"name":"TESTPRODUCT","desc":"TESTIN12356879CEWBLABHDSB","cost":"123.45","stock":"6"}
{"name":"soot","desc":"soooottty black","cost":"980.00","stock":"10"}
{"name":"baby","desc":"chucky doll","cost":"7.92","stock":"34"}
{"name":"bob","desc":"fydrtsfxgcvnb","cost":"3546.00","stock":"978"}
{"name":"bolly","desc":"ball","cost":"77.00","stock":"89"}
I need to display these objects onto the html page. I know I need to implement a for loop however, no matter whatever I try, a parse error for JSON comes up.
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data at
line 1 column 86 of the JSON data
var product = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
Would much appreciate it if someone could help me understand how to display all the JSON objects onto the html page.
