## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Now that you're getting data from a JSON API, you can display it in the HTML.
|
|
You can use a <code>forEach</code> method to loop through the data since the cat photo objects are held in an array. As you get to each item, you can modify the HTML elements.
|
|
First, declare an html variable with <code>var html = "";</code>.
|
|
Then, loop through the JSON, adding HTML to the variable that wraps the key names in <code>strong</code> tags, followed by the value. When the loop is finished, you render it.
|
|
Here's the code that does this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
json.forEach(function(val) {
|
|
var keys = Object.keys(val);
|
|
html += "<div class = 'cat'>";
|
|
keys.forEach(function(key) {
|
|
html += "<strong>" + key + "</strong>: " + val[key] + "<br>";
|
|
});
|
|
html += "</div><br>";
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Add a <code>forEach</code> method to loop over the JSON data and create the HTML elements to display it.
|
|
Here is some example JSON
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"id":0,
|
|
"imageLink":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/freecodecamp/funny-cat.jpg",
|
|
"altText":"A white cat wearing a green helmet shaped melon on its head. ",
|
|
"codeNames":[ "Juggernaut", "Mrs. Wallace", "Buttercup"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: Your code should store the data in the <code>html</code> variable
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/html\s+?(\+=|=\shtml\s\+)/g), 'Your code should store the data in the <code>html</code> variable');
|
|
- text: Your code should use a <code>forEach</code> method to loop over the JSON data from the API.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/json\.forEach/g), 'Your code should use a <code>forEach</code> method to loop over the JSON data from the API.');
|
|
- text: Your code should wrap the key names in <code>strong</code> tags.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/<strong>.+<\/strong>/g), 'Your code should wrap the key names in <code>strong</code> tags.');
|
|
