14,500 PointsReferenceError: profile not defined even after using module.exports.get
Here is my app.js:
require("./profile.js");
profile.get("chalkers");
And here is my profile.js:
// Problem: Simple way to look at user's badge count and JS points
// Solution: Use Node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out
var https = require("https");
var http = require("http");
// Print out message
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in JavaScript.";
console.log(message);
}
// Print out error messages
function printError(error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
function get(username) {
// Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
var req = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(res) {
var body = "";
// Read the data
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
body += chunk;
})
res.on('end', function() {
if (res.statusCode === 200) {
try {
// Parse the data
var profile = JSON.parse(body);
// Print the data
printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript);
} catch(error) {
// Parse error
printError(error);
}
} else {
// Status code error
printError({message: "There was an error getting the profile for " + username + ". (" + http.STATUS_CODES[res.statusCode] +")"});
}
})
});
// Connection error
req.on("error", printError);
}
module.exports.get = get;
What am I missing?

231,269 PointsIt looks like you're missing the definition of profile:
var profile = require("./profile.js");
profile.get("chalkers");
