Build an fCC Authors Page - Step 8

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I keep getting this error: 3. When the displayAuthors function is called with an author’s array, it should add a card for each author to the authorContainer div.
How can I fit my code to make my code pass so I can continue onward.

Your code so far

Welcome to the forum :wave:

It looks like you’re missing a bunch of code at the beginning

It might be a good idea to reset this step if that code is missing, or maybe it didn’t get put into this thread.

Next:

The card should have the following structure:
Example Code

<div id="${index}" class="user-card">
  <h2 class="author-name">${author}</h2>
</div>

You are given this structure for the div in the instructions, you are missing the index number.

Next, look at your console.log output:

[ { author: 'Quincy Larson',
    image: 'https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/content/images/size/w150/2021/03/Quincy-Larson-photo.jpg',
    url: 'https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/author/quincylarson/',
    bio: 'The teacher who founded freeCodeCamp.org.' },

Note the structure of the authors objects. Note the names of each key. What key will you use to access the author’s name?

You are very close!
