This is the Random Quote Generator project for TeamTreehouse's Techdegree Unit 1. This project aims to hit the "Exceeds Expectations" mark.
Each item in the array is a Quote object containing the following:
quote- The quote that was saidsource- Originator of said quotecitation- Where quote originated, if available. null, if not.year- Year the quote originatedtags- Categories the quote could be tagged in
A function that returns a random quote object. First it stores a random number then sets up an infinite loop to check if the number had already been used before running through all quotes against usedArray thats being updated with each quote object that's been used.
Once the usedArray's length is equal to the quotes' array's length, the usedArray gets reset to recycle the quotes.
Each call to getRandomQuote returns a new quote object to be used in printQuote().
A function that generates a random color based on rgb values
Code was adapted from https://www.w3resource.com/javascript-exercises/javascript-math-exercise-40.php
Each R/G/B value was calculated by Math.random() and Math.floor() and then returned by concatenating the values into a rgb() string to be fed into printQuote.
A function that calls getRandomQuote() and then uses that object to build an htmlString.
3 Conditionals are then called to check to see if citation, year or tags exist and insert it into htmlString if it does
Once the 3 conditionals are finished the htmlString is closed with a </p> tag
The function then calls the randomColorChange() and uses the returned value to change the background color of the <body> and loadQuote button
The function finishes by setting the innerHTML of the div with the quote-box class
setInterval() calls printQuote() to update the quote and background color every 25 seconds.
