How to generate UL Li list from string array using jquery?

Question

I have string array like

'United States', 'Canada', 'Argentina', 'Armenia', 'Aruba', 'Australia', 'Austria', 'Azerbaijan', 'Bahamas', 'Bangladesh', 'Belarus', 'Belgium'**, ... etc.

I want create a dynamic list from string array like below:-

<ul class="mylist" style="z-index: 1; top: 474px; left: 228px; display: none; width: 324px;" > 
  <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">
     <a class="ui-all" tabindex="-1">
         United States
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">
     <a class="ui-all" tabindex="-1">
         Canada
    </a>
  </li>
  <li> .... </li>
   .....
</ul>

How is it possible using jQuery?

Answer 1

var countries = ['United States', 'Canada', 'Argentina', 'Armenia'];
var cList = $('ul.mylist')
$.each(countries, function(i)
{
    var li = $('<li/>')
        .addClass('ui-menu-item')
        .attr('role', 'menuitem')
        .appendTo(cList);
    var aaa = $('<a/>')
        .addClass('ui-all')
        .text(countries[i])
        .appendTo(li);
});

Answer 2

With ES6 you can write this:

const countries = ['United States', 'Canada', 'Argentina', 'Armenia'];

const $ul = $('<ul>', { class: "mylist" }).append(
  countries.map(country => 
    $("<li>").append($("<a>").text(country))
  )
);
