So I have this jquery function that is pulling data from another domain and i want to display that data with ajax when the user enters a value into the search box. As of now the app continuously gives me the error message I wrote from the error state no matter if I search by .productName or .itemCode. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
function foodQuery() {
var key = "123456789";
$("#searchinput").keyup(function() {
var value = $(this).val();
foodQuery(value);
});
function foodQuery(key) { // key is passed as a parameter
var foodURL = "http://api.example.com/items?key=" + key;
$.ajax({
url: foodURL,
type: 'GET',
contentType: "text/plain",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(json) {
$.each(json.products, function(index, product) {
// build product block
var htmlString = '<div class="product large-3 columns">';
//open imgwrap
htmlString += '<div class="imgwrap">';
//get img src
htmlString += ' <img class="item_img" src="http://api.example.com/assets/images/' + product.itemCode + '@2x.jpg" />';
// close imgwrap
htmlString += '</div>';
// open textwrap
htmlString += '<div class="textwrap">';
// get productName
htmlString += '<h1 class="product_headline">' + product.productName + '</h1>' ;
// get itemCode
htmlString += '<h4 class="item_id" >#' + product.itemCode + '</h4>';
// get description
htmlString += '<p class="product_desc">' + product.description + '</p>';
// open price
htmlString += '<div class="price">';
// get price & close div
htmlString += '<span class="dollar"><span class="usd">$</span>' + product.price + '</span> <span class="product_desc">per weight</span></div>'
// close divs
htmlString += '</div>';
//console.log(htmlString);
$('.listing').append( $(htmlString) );
}); //end each
}, // end success
error: function(e) {
console.log(e.message);
$('.listing').append( '<h1 class="errmsg" >Sorry, there was an unkown error.</h1>' );
} // end error
}); // end ajax request
$(".listing").html("");
}
}
