Stage 3 challenge - my solution

Hi.

This is my answer.

$(document).ready(function () {
  $.getJSON('../data/rooms.json', function (data) {
    var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">';
    $.each(data,function (index, room) {
      if (room.available === true) {
        statusHTML +='<li class="available">';
      } else {
        statusHTML +='<li class="unavailable">';
      }
      statusHTML += room.name + '</li>';
    });
    statusHTML += '</ul>';
    $('#roomList').html(statusHTML)
  }); // end getJSON
}); // end ready

I would appreciate constructive feedback.

The first question is: did it work as you expected? I just completed the example - mine works and I did several things differently.

  1. I used different variables in this code block to avoid conflicting with those already established for the employees list.
  2. My ul class is "rooms" rather than "bulleted" to get the proper styling.
  3. The classes for the li elements should be "full" and "empty" to match the .json file.
  4. I think you are missing the room name/number before the closing li tag.

Hope it helps! Steve
