Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only display the html form and buttons. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">How to Dynamically Generate Website URL</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-12">
                        <div class="form-inline ">
                                <input type="text"  placeholder="Enter Website name" id="website" class="form-control"/> <input type="text" placeholder="Enter URL" id="link" class="form-control"/> <button type="button" onclick="generateURL();" class="btn btn-primary">Generate URL</button>
                                <h5>Example URL's:</h5>
                                <h6 class="text-primary">google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, etc...</h6>
                        </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-8">
                <h4>WEBSITE URL Links</h4>
                <ul id="result"></ul>
                </div>
        </div>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will allow you to dynamically generate URL. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

function generateURL(){
                var website = document.getElementById('website').value;
                var link = document.getElementById('link').value;
                if(website == "" || link == ""){
                        alert("Please enter something first");
                }else{
                        var a=document.createElement('a');
                        var list=document.createElement('li');
                        
                        a.textContent=website;
                        a.setAttribute("href", "https://"+link);
                        a.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
                        list.appendChild(a);
 
                        document.getElementById('result').appendChild(list);
                        document.getElementById('website').value=""
                        document.getElementById('link').value=""
                }
}

In the code above we just create one method called generateURL(), this function will dynamically generate your website URL. The code is consist of several appending of data including the URL that we submit in the form. We just append the URL data that we entered and send it to HTML list, by creating new element that we will be set as a list.
