Get a random thing, update the title when you type, etc

Some javascript to pick random things from an array, and replace a tag ({{name}}) in it with the text from a text box.

Note: You will nee jQuery for this to work. If you don't already, make sure you add <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script> to your <head>

<script>
  var things = [
      "Random thing 1 {{name}}",
      "Random thing 2 {{name}}",
      "Random thing 3 {{name}}"
    ];

  function randomThing() {
    // Get a random thing from the above array
    var thing = things[Math.floor(Math.random()*things.length)];

    // If we have a name field
    if ($('#name').length) {
       // Replace the name tag with the value from the name input box and return it
       thing = thing.replace("{{name}}", $('#name').val());
    }

    return thing;
  }

  function updateHeader() {
   // Update the header with a random thing from teh array above
    $('#header').html(randomThing());
  }

  $(document).ready(function() {
    // When we type stuff into the updateText input...
    $('#updateHeader').on('input', function() {
      // ...update the header with it
      $('#header').html($(this).val())
    });
  });
</script>
