How to apply style to the variable in javascript

Question

I am working on a API, so i got it running but would like to apply some style to it.

I am trying to change the style for var title, country, status and summary without success. Could you hint on how to do it? I have tried a few things but none of them are working.

Thank you!

// creating an empty object to hold functionality of our app
var app = {};


// create an init method that will hold all the code that must run upon initialization of app
app.init = function(){
    $('#subject').on('keyup', function(){
  var subject = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
  //empty before we ask for result that were there so new results will show up
  $('#showresults').empty();
  app.getShow(subject);
});
};

// getShow method will make the Ajax request to the API
app.getShow = function(query){
    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows?q=:query',
        method: 'GET',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: {
            ps: 20,
            q: query,
            format: 'json'
        },
        success: function(results){
            console.log(results);
            app.displayShow(results);
        },
        error: function(error){
            console.log(error);
        }
    });
};



// displayShow will inject our art pieces into the DOM
app.displayShow = function(ShowArray){
    //forEach is the equivalent of for loop in jQuery. it is used to loop over our array of show
    ShowArray.forEach(function(showObject){
      //create a variable that will hold the html and the h that doesn't exist yet. we use artPiece.title because it's the place holder for the object
        var title = showObject.show.name  ;
        var country = showObject.show.network.country.name
        var status= showObject.show.status ;
        var summary =  showObject.show.summary ;
        //Adding all of our elements into this div

        var showHtml = $('<div>').addClass('series').append(title + '<br>' + country + '<br>' + status + summary);
        $('#showresults').append(showHtml);
    });
};


$(function(){ // shortform of document.ready, which waits for all of the HTML document to be loaded before running JS
    app.init();
});

You can try something like this

var showHtml = $('<div>').addClass('series')
.append('<span class="titleClass">' +title  +'</span>' 
+ '<br> <span class="countryeClass">' + country +'</span>' 
+ '<br> <span class="statusClass">' + status + summary+'</span>' );

You want to wrap the output for those variables in HTML elements, give the elements a class or some sort of identifier, then style them using CSS.

Here I'm wrapping the output text in spans, but you can use whatever is appropriate here.

var showHtml = $('<div>').addClass('series').append('<span class="title">' + title + '</span>' + '<br>' + '<span class="country">' + country + '</span>' + '<br>' + '<span class="status">' + status  + '</span>' + '<span class="summary">' + summary  + '</span>');

And here's some example CSS to style them

.title {
  color: red;
}
.country {
  color: white;
}
.status {
  color: blue;
}
.summary {
  color: lemonchiffon;
}
