json - Using Javascript loop to create multiple HTML elements

I would like to use a javascript loop to create multiple HTML wrapper elements and insert JSON response API data into some of the elements (image, title, url, etc...).

Is this something I need to go line-by-line with?

<a class="scoreboard-video-outer-link" href="">
  <div class="scoreboard-video--wrapper">
    <div class="scoreboard-video--thumbnail">
      <img src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x150">
    </div>
    <div class="scoreboard-video--info">
      <div class="scoreboard-video--title">Pelicans @ Bulls Postgame: E'Twaun Moore 10-8-17</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</a>

What I am trying:

var link = document.createElement('a');
document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].setAttribute("class", "scoreboard-video-outer-link");
document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].setAttribute("url", "google.com"); 
mainWrapper.appendChild(link);

var videoWrapper= document.createElement('div');
document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].setAttribute("class", "scoreboard-video-outer-link");
link.appendChild(videoWrapper);

var videoThumbnailWrapper = document.createElement('div');
document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].setAttribute("class", "scoreboard-video--thumbnail");
 videoWrapper.appendChild(videoThumbnailWrapper);

var videoImage = document.createElement('img');
document.getElementsByTagName("img")[0].setAttribute("src", "url-of-image-from-api");
videoThumbnailWrapper.appendChild(videoImage);

Then I basically repeat that process for all nested HTML elements.

  • Create A-tag
  • Create class and href attributes for A-tag
  • Append class name and url to attributes
  • Append A-tag to main wrapper

  • Create DIV

  • Create class attributes for DIV
  • Append DIV to newly appended A-tag

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could enlighten me on the best way to do what I'm trying to explain here? Seems like it would get very messy.

Here's my answer. It's notated. In order to see the effects in the snippet you'll have to go into your developers console to either inspect the wrapper element or look at your developers console log.

We basically create some helper methods to easily create elements and append them to the DOM - it's really not as hard as it seems. This should also leave you in an easy place to append JSON retrieved Objects as properties to your elements!

Here's a Basic Version to give you the gist of what's happening and how to use it

//create element function

function create(tagName, props) {
  return Object.assign(document.createElement(tagName), (props || {}));
}

//append child function

function ac(p, c) {
  if (c) p.appendChild(c);
  return p;
}

//example: 
//get wrapper div
let mainWrapper = document.getElementById("mainWrapper");

//create link and div
let link = create("a", { href:"google.com" });
let div = create("div", { id: "myDiv" });

//add link as a child to div, add the result to mainWrapper
ac(mainWrapper, ac(div, link));

//create element function

function create(tagName, props) {
  return Object.assign(document.createElement(tagName), (props || {}));
}

//append child function

function ac(p, c) {
  if (c) p.appendChild(c);
  return p;
}

//example: 
//get wrapper div
let mainWrapper = document.getElementById("mainWrapper");

//create link and div
let link = create("a", { href:"google.com", textContent: "this text is a Link in the div" });
let div = create("div", { id: "myDiv", textContent: "this text is in the div! " });

//add link as a child to div, add the result to mainWrapper
ac(mainWrapper, ac(div, link));
div {
border: 3px solid black;
padding: 5px;

}
<div id="mainWrapper"></div>
