Here's my code, I tried to follow as best as I could but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
router.js
var Profile = require("./profile.js");
//Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home
function home(request, response) {
//if url == "/" && GET
if(request.url ==="/") {
//show search
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.write("Header\n");
response.write("Search\n")
response.end("Footer\n");
}
//if url == "/" && POST
//redirect to :/username
}
function user(request, response) {
// if url == "/...."
var username = request.url.replace("/", "");
if(username.length > 0) {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.write("Header\n");
//get JSON from Treehouse
var studentProfile = new Profile(username);
//on "end"
studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON) {
//show profile
//store the values which we neeed
var values = {
avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
username: profile.JSON.profile_name,
badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
}
//simple response
response.write(values.username + " has " + values.badges + " badges\n");
response.end("Footer\n");
});
//on "error"
studentProfile.on("error", function(error) {
//show error
response.write(error.message + "\n");
response.end("Footer\n");
});
}
}
//export routes to app.js
module.exports.home = home;
module.exports.user = user;

From the way you accessed avatarURL and badges I assume it should be profileJSON.profile_name.
