I was creating a website where you can watch an episode of a tv series. I got all the YouTube codes and stored them in an array. I want it to change the index of the array whenever I click the ‘Next episode’ button. I know I can add alot of eventListeners but that lagged my website. Please help me on this
Code –
HTML <button id="rightArrow">→</button> JS const codes = { episodeCodes: ["k7Lv7u0xdTw","7-wnzSSESac","8k5Kk-aBbPE","oYJuHtV3FsI"] } rightArrow.addEventListener('click', () => { iframe.setAttribute('src', 'https://youtube.com/embed/' + codes.episodeCodes[0]++) })

You’ll need to create a variable to store the current index first and then increment that:
HTML <button id="rightArrow">→</button> JS let currentIndex = 0 const codes = { episodeCodes: ["k7Lv7u0xdTw","7-wnzSSESac","8k5Kk-aBbPE","oYJuHtV3FsI"] } rightArrow.addEventListener('click', () => { iframe.setAttribute('src', 'https://youtube.com/embed/' + codes.episodeCodes[++currentIndex % codes.episodeCode.length]) })
