Dynamically add country names to the option elements

[JasonDuquain]

User Story:

• As a developer I want to dynamically add the region names into the HTML form's option elements and name fields to reduce repetition and possible mistakes in the code.

Technical tasks required:

• Add Jasmine test case(s).

• Research pulling this data from the second API's (https://restcountries.eu) developer documentation.

• Write the code with node and express to dynamically add the country names to the HTML option elements on page load.

• Confirm all jasmine test specs pass.

Difficulty Rating: 2

notes/lessons learned:

• The API to pull the country names is here: names.json. This one must be used to include only the countries that the names API supports

• In order to use the values returned from the request call inside the ejs file, the res.render statement must be INSIDE the request call. Ex:

request({
            url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thm/uinames/master/uinames.com/api/names.json',
            json: true
        }, (error, response) => {
             let namesArray = response.body; //namesArray would not be available outside the request call
             res.render("baby/index", {
                 namesArray: namesArray
            });
});
