Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,106 PointsI think the api is updated for all breeds objects
The api for all breeds is updated and now the function to add the options in select menu is broken. If someone can have a look and update the code please.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,106 PointsThe new api url for all breeds is: https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all I have got all breed object using the following code:
fetch("https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
const dataMessage = data.message;
const messageKeys = Object.keys(dataMessage);
generationOptions(messageKeys);
});
after that the generateOptions function:
function generationOptions(data) {
let options = "";
data.map(item => {
options += `
<option value='${item}'>${item}</option>`;
});
select.innerHTML = options;
}
Sure, they will be many better ways, but thats I could come up with at the moment. Hope its helpful if anyone else had the same issue recently.

function generateOptions(data) {
let breedsList = [];
let html = '';
Object.keys(data).forEach(breed => {
if (data[breed].length === 0) {
breedsList.push(breed);
} else {
data[breed].forEach(subBreed => {
breedsList.push(`${breed}/${subBreed}`)
})
}
})
breedsList.forEach(breed => {
let readableBreed;
if (breed.includes('/')) {
readableBreed = `${breed.split('/')[1]} ${breed.split('/')[0]}`;
} else {
readableBreed = breed;
}
html += `<option value=${breed}>${readableBreed}</option>`
})
select.innerHTML = html;
}
