Display The Image On The Page

We're making our request to Unsplash, it's returning a response that we're then converting to JSON, and now we're seeing the actual JSON data. Fantastic! All we need to do now is display the image and caption on the page.

Here's the code that I'm using:


This code will be working following way
  • get the first image that's returned from Unsplash
  • create a <figure> tag with the small image
  • creates a <figcaption> that displays the text that was searched for along with the first name of the person that took the image
  • if no images were returned, it displays an error message to the us

jQuery methods used to make asynchronous calls

jQuery has a number of other methods that can be used to make asynchronous calls. These methods are:

Each one of these functions in turn calls jQuery's main .ajax() method. These are called "convenience methods" because they provide a convenient interface and do some default configuration of the request before calling .ajax().

Let's look at the .get() and .post() methods to see how they just call .ajax() under the hood.

Running an asynchronous request in the console. The request is for a resource on SWAPI. The request is displayed in the network pane.
So we can make a request with .ajax(), but we haven't handled the response yet.
