Does your list not render to the page? I found a typo in the generateListItems function....

In Andrew's code, he misspelled generateListItems (left off the e in generate). If you don't copy and past the name of this function, but type it out yourself, when calling it in the last lines of code : getJSON('../data/employees.json').then(generateListItems)...... then your list will never render to the screen. Took me about an hour to figure out why my code didn't work.

I just finished this recently. I don't recall this error. I think he does have the error early on, but he ends up fixing the spelling error. I fixed it immediately and mine worked out fine.

Not to argue with you, but you can still see the misspelling in the end of the video, all the way up to the very last second.
I fixed it also and it worked fine, I'm just trying to alert other students that there is a misspelling in the code and if you type the callback function with the correct spelling, but the function that it is referencing is spelling incorrectly, it won't work.
