Next, add a link to the author's page on freeCodeCamp News.

Add an anchor element with the class "author-link", interpolate url as the value for the href attribute, and set target to "_blank". For the text of the anchor element, interpolate author followed by the text "'s author page". For example, "Quincy Larson's author page".

--before-all--

window.fetch = () => Promise.resolve({json: () => Promise.resolve([{ author: 'Whoever', image: 'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==', url: "http://not-a-real-url.nowhere/", bio: 'words go here' }])});

--hints--

You should create an anchor element.

await __helpers.retryingTest(() => document.querySelector('a'), "'a' element not found");

Your anchor element should have the class "author-link".

assert.include(document.querySelector('a')?.className, "author-link");

You should interpolate url as the value of your anchor's href attribute.

assert.equal(document.querySelector('a')?.getAttribute('href'), authorDataArr[0].url);

You should set the target attribute of your anchor element to "_blank".

assert.equal(document.querySelector('a')?.getAttribute('target'), '_blank');

You should interpolate author followed by the text "'s author page" inside your anchor element.

assert.equal(document.querySelector('a')?.textContent.trim(), `${authorDataArr[0].author}'s author page`);
