I'm developing a COVID-19 tracker app so far it works but I'm having issue for when the user search for a country that isn't in the API a error message is suppose to pop up as the else statement, which indeed it does happen. The issue is the message would pop up when a country that's been entered and the API has the info the error message would still pop up. Any advice would help.
let btn = document.getElementById("submit-btn");
//set variable btn to the html button id
btn.addEventListener("click",()=>{
let text = document.getElementById("input-text").value;
console.log("button was pressed");
//added a event once btn is pressed taking the value of what was typed in the form
fetch('https://api.covid19api.com/summary')
.then((covidData)=>{
return covidData.json();
})
//
.then((getData)=>{
console.log(getData);
console.log("api was contacted");
var content = document.querySelector(".api-data");
var box = content.lastElementChild;
while (box) {
content.removeChild(box);
box = content.lastElementChild;
}
var countriesIndex = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < 185; i++){
if(getData.Countries[i].Country.toLowerCase() == text.toLowerCase()){
countriesIndex = i;
break;
}
else {
var hideData = document.querySelector(".api-data");
hideData.style.display = "none";
alert("No information for that country")
break;
}
}
let data = document.querySelector(".api-data");
data.innerHTML = `<div class="data-boxes">
<div class="country-index">
<span>Covid-19 Cases in ${getData.Countries[countriesIndex].Country}</span>
</div>
<div class="total-data">
<div><p>Total Confirmed</p> ${getData.Countries[countriesIndex].TotalConfirmed}</div>
<div><p>Total Deaths</p> ${getData.Countries[countriesIndex].TotalDeaths}</div>

</html>The else part is replaced. If countriesIndex is not updated from 0 , that means the data is not found.
Fixed Code:
let btn = document.getElementById("submit-btn");
//set variable btn to the html button id
btn.addEventListener("click",()=>{
let text = document.getElementById("input-text").value;
console.log("button was pressed");
//added a event once btn is pressed taking the value of what was typed in the form
fetch('https://api.covid19api.com/summary')
.then((covidData)=>{
return covidData.json();

//
.then((getData)=>{
console.log(getData);
console.log("api was contacted");
var content = document.querySelector(".api-data");
var box = content.lastElementChild;
while (box) {
content.removeChild(box);
box = content.lastElementChild;
}
var countriesIndex = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < 185; i++){
if( getData.Countries[i].Country.toLowerCase() == text.toLowerCase()){

break;

}
if(countriesIndex==0) {
