// VARIABLES
const magicalUnderlines = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.underline--magical'));
const gradientAPI = 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/wking-io/3e116c0e5675c8bcad8b5a6dc6ca5344/raw/4e783ce3ad0bcd98811c6531e40256b8feeb8fc8/gradient.json';
// HELPER FUNCTIONS
// 1. Get random number in range. Used to get random index from array.
const randNumInRange = max => Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - 1));
// 2. Merge two separate array values at the same index to
// be the same value in new array.
const mergeArrays = (arrOne, arrTwo) => arrOne
.map((item, i) => `${item} ${arrTwo[i]}`)
.join(', ');
// 3. Curried function to add a background to array of elms
const addBackground = (elms) => (color) => {
elms.forEach(el => {
el.style.backgroundImage = color;
});
}
// 4. Function to get data from API
const getData = async(url) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
return data.data;
}
// 5. Partial Application of addBackground to always apply
// background to the magicalUnderlines constant
const addBackgroundToUnderlines = addBackground(magicalUnderlines);
// GRADIENT FUNCTIONS
// 1. Build CSS formatted linear-gradient from API data
const buildGradient = (obj) => `linear-gradient(${obj.direction}, ${mergeArrays(obj.colors, obj.positions)})`;
// 2. Get single gradient from data pulled in array and
// apply single gradient to a callback function
const applyGradient = async(url, callback) => {
const data = await getData(url);
const gradient = buildGradient(data[randNumInRange(data.length)]);
callback(gradient);
}
// RESULT
applyGradient(gradientAPI, addBackgroundToUnderlines);
