Gif of the Day!

Create a jQuery plugin that shows the latest gif given a category.

Example usage:

$('.gif-container').gifOfTheDay({
  category: 'cats'
});

Step 1

Create a new html document and link to jQuery. Add a <div> with the class gif-container.

Step 2

When a user adds $('.gif-container').gifOfTheDay(); to their javascript, the text of the div should be set to "The plugin will put the gif here"

Step 3

Instead of setting the text, use $.getJSON to fetch the latest gif from some hardcoded category, and add the first image to the container div. What source should you use? Ah, that's the fun part. We wouldn't dream of taking that fun away from you.

Step 4

Allow users to specify their own category by accepting options.

$('.gif-container').gifOfTheDay({
  category: 'cats'
});

Bonus !

Add a previous and next button. Clicking on "next" should show the next gif from the api.
