Angular Basics - Stage 1 Video 5 coding mistake!!!!!!!!!!

On this video at 2:43 the code in the hello-world.js : angular.module('todoListApp') .directive('helloWorld', function () { return { template: "This is the hello world directive!" }; });

IT WAS NOT LOADING IN THE PREVIEW UNITL I REMOVED () !!!! AND REWRITE THE CODE TO:

angular.module('todoListApp') .directive('helloWorld', function { return { template: "This is the hello world directive!" }; });

NOW IT IS LOADING AND I CAN SEE IT IN THE PREVIEW!!!! SORRY FOR THIS NOTE, ITS THE FIRST TIME I START CODING!!!! Am I right?

Hey! Are you using the workspace? I've tested it and having the brackets is required for me to display the message. I'll include my text below:

angular.module('todoListApp')
.directive('helloWorld', function() {
  return {
    template: "This is the hello world direction!"
  };
});

Could you show us your index.html file? :) No need to apologize, keep up the great work!!

This is the first coding you have ever done?

You are in the wrong place. Hopefully you figured that out by now. Go check out all the recommended JavaScript courses first, or do the Full JavaScript Stack track.
