Custom directive returning error in Angular Basics.

So this is the custom directive that I wrote.

angular.module("foobar").directive("customDirective", function(){ return null; };);

This doesn't work, what's wrong with it.

app.js
angular.module("foobar").directive("customDirective", function(){
  return null;
};);

Hey there,

I think you're talking about the second part of the challenge where you are adding the second directive. If so, you seem to have added a bit more that what the challenge asked for and seem to have an extra semi-colon and parentheses.

You've got most of it correct, except the challenge never asked for a return statement, and you do have that extra semicolon and parentheses at the end.

The corrected code will look like this:

angular.module("foobar", []).directive("customDirective", function(){
});

Hope it makes sense. Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
