Moonflower Feature

A new section was added to the HTML to feature an item from the menu.

Put the Data into JSON

Use the information below to write JSON to hold the featured items for the week. Store this in a separate JSON file. Each featured item has a name, image, and description. There are two featured items this week, but there may be more later, so put them in an array and make sure that your JavaScript can process any number of featured items.

Item 1:

• name: "Hazelnut Cappuccino",
• image: "images/cappuccino.jpg",
• description: "A warm, soothing cappuccino with a touch of hazelnut to warm you as the weather turns."

Item 2:

• name: "Chocolate Cake",
• image: "images/choc-cake.jpg",
• description: "Our chocolate cake is rich, moist, and dark. More chocolate to love."

Use the Data to Show the Features

Use your JSON data to build and add HTML to show the two featured items in the “featured-items” div. Create and add the HTML to the page using JavaScript. The code that you write should be able to add any number of featured items to the page.
