Render Images from Data Sources

Tell us what’s happening:
I know what to do but I don’t know why and how it should work.

Your code so far

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {

    $("#getMessage").on("click", function() {
      $.getJSON("/json/cats.json", function(json) {

        var html = "";

        json.forEach(function(val) {

          html += "<div class = 'cat'>";

          // Only change code below this line.
          
          
          
          // Only change code above this line.

          html += "</div>";

        });

        $(".message").html(html);

      });
    });
  });
</script>

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class = "row text-center">
    <h2>Cat Photo Finder</h2>
  </div>
  <div class = "row text-center">
    <div class = "col-xs-12 well message">
      The message will go here
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class = "row text-center">
    <div class = "col-xs-12">
      <button id = "getMessage" class = "btn btn-primary">
        Get Message
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

What you are going to do here is to get every object in the JSON file using loops it to render the images. The object has a property imageLink with you can use as a src of the image you are going to render.

html += '<img src=' + object.property + '>'
