Solution retrospective

I have worked on this project with the help of the Youtuber Florin Pop, i have a general idea of what working with api's is, async functions, and embedding in es6.

One question: When you want to display the borders countries(using .borders property) the api gives you back some three letter abbreviation of the full name, how can i turn that into the full name, any help?

Thank you

    I'm trying to create a function i know i'm really bad at it :)

    const borders = country.borders; const fullName = for(let border of borders){ let name = border.name //i know this is wrong return name });

    You have to fetch those letters from api like this: https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/alpha/COL and then get the actual names of those countries
