Now playwright offers another API, which is web first assertions, which can be used to perform the same in a more readable way. So let's go ahead and see how can we do it. So I'll go ahead and comment out this assert statement and then I'll go ahead and import the expect function from our playwright sync API. Now using this expect function, we can expect or assert different conditions on our page and other locator objects. So let's go ahead and try to assert this condition right here. That is the page URL should be equals to our dogs URL. For that, we start with our expect function, give it our page object, because in this case, that's what we're going to assert with. And then we can use the expects API to perform the certain task. In this case, we'll use to have URL method like this, we'll give it the URL we want to check with. So you can…
