function about(request, response) { if(request.url == "/about") { response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"}); response.end("About\n"); } }
module.exports.root = root; module.exports.contact = contact; module.exports.about = about;
I am stuck here. error message is:
You need to call the about method on the imported routes object.
function root(request, response) {
if(request.url == "/") {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("Home\n");
}
}
function contact(request, response) {
if(request.url == "/contact") {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("Contact\n");
}
}
function about(request, response) {
if(request.url == "/about") {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-type': "text/plain"});
response.end("About\n");
}
}
module.exports.root = root;
module.exports.contact = contact;
module.exports.about = about;
var http = require("http");
var routes = require("./routes.js");
http.createServer(function(request, response){
routes.root(request, response);
routes.contact(request, response);
}).listen(3000);

In the index.js file:
http.createServer(function(request, response){
routes.root(request, response);
routes.contact(request, response);
routes.about(request, response); // The missing line of code
}).listen(3000);

http.createServer(function(request, response){ routes.root(request, response); routes.contact(request, response); routes.about(request, response); }).listen(3000);
It is funny that same code passed today. I tried several times yesterday it didn't work.

Don't feel alone!!!! I get that all the time. I spend half my time copy paste my code over and over until it finally takes it.
ellie adam
26,377 PointsI did.
error message is:
You need to call the about method on the imported routes object. What it mean by import route?
Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest TeacherWhat Brandon Dyal should work. Can you paste in the code when you attempted that variation?
