Dad Joke Generator

We're going to use JavaScript to make a webpage that displays a random dad joke. We'll use the built-in fetch method to call an API that will give us jokes.

Getting Started

• IF THIS IS A DELIVERABLE: Fork and clone this repository
• Setup your HTML page, and don't forget to include links to the CSS and JS files!
• Be creative in your choice of styling. Think about all of those different CSS properties.

Gathering Jokes

• Use the dad joke API.
  • Note that this requires you to send something in the request header!
  • Take a look at the docs and see if you can figure it out! Also check out the fetch docs to see examples of how to add header.

Click to reveal answer!

fetch('https://icanhazdadjoke.com/', {
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }
})

Requirements

• Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, create a webpage that displays a random joke on the page when a button is clicked
• Every time the button is clicked, clear the old joke and replace it with a new random joke.
• Use the fetch function to obtain a joke from your chosen API.

Bonus!

• This API also allows you to use images! If you implement this, how will it change your code?
