Прошу помощи по учебной задаче.
Поскольку только изучаю JS, к сожалению, знаний не хватает для самостоятельного решения.
Проблема: неясно, что нужно дать функции chooseRandomCategory() (STEP 2) в качестве параметра, чтобы сайт генерировал HTML-страницу со случайно выбранной категорией по нажатию на плитку "Specials". Пожалуйста, помогите разобраться.
UPD. Решено таким образом:
// TODO: STEP 2: Here, call chooseRandomCategory, passing it retrieved 'categories'
// Pay attention to what type of data that function returns vs what the chosenCategoryShortName
// variable's name implies it expects.
var chosenCategoryShortName = chooseRandomCategory(categories);
// TODO: STEP 3: Substitute {{randomCategoryShortName}} in the home html snippet with the
// chosen category from STEP 2. Use existing insertProperty function for that purpose.
// Look through this code for an example of how to do use the insertProperty function.
// WARNING! You are inserting something that will have to result in a valid Javascript
// syntax because the substitution of {{randomCategoryShortName}} becomes an argument
// being passed into the $dc.loadMenuItems function. Think about what that argument needs
// to look like. For example, a valid call would look something like this:
// $dc.loadMenuItems('L')
// Hint: you need to surround the chosen category short name with something before inserting
// it into the home html snippet.
//
var homeHtmlToInsertIntoMainPage = insertProperty(homeHtml, "randomCategoryShortName", "'" + chosenCategoryShortName.short_name + "'");
// TODO: STEP 2: Here, call chooseRandomCategory, passing it retrieved 'categories'
// Pay attention to what type of data that function returns vs what the chosenCategoryShortName
// variable's name implies it expects.
var chosenCategoryShortName = chooseRandomCategory(?????????);
