Examples

// Create a post after scraping
let post = Post {
    title: "Breaking News".to_string(),
    content: "# Article Content\n\nThis is the main article...".to_string(),
    featured_image_url: "https://example.com/image.jpg".to_string(),
    publication_date: Some("2024-01-15T10:30:00Z".to_string()),
    author: Some("Jane Doe".to_string()),
    error: String::new(),
};

// Check if scraping was successful
assert!(post.error.is_empty());
assert_eq!(post.title, "Breaking News");

    featured_image_url: String::new(),
    publication_date: None,
    author: None,
