When I use curly braces in the callback function within the .map method no list is shown. When these are removed however, it seems to be working. How come?
This does'nt work,
function generateOptions(data) {
const options = data.map( item => {
<option value='${item}'>'${item}'</option>
})
select.innerHTML = options;
}
This does.
function generateOptions(data) {
const options = data.map( item =>
<option value='${item}'>'${item}'</option>
)
select.innerHTML = options;
}

the surrounding curly brackets. If you have the curly braces you need to have a return.
