Require(http) Undefined?

require() loads in a module for use in your code. The result of require should be stored in a variable so it can be referenced for use later. The argument for require is supposed to be a string, almost always a string literal. require(http) means require what is in the variable http, which is probably undefined at that point. It should be:

const http = require('http');

This way you can use the functionality of node's http module through http in your code. HTTP is the protocol for making and responding to website requests.

You probably did not install the Node Module for HTTP. Make sure the module is installed via npm.

You should be able to see it in your node_modules folder.

Also as Seth mentioned above you want to assign it to a variable if you haven't done so already.

Thanks for taking the time. Yeah I thought about the fact that I did not have node installed. I recently downloaded but I

am still getting the error not defined in the console Also I have set it to a variable and set it to the string literal as the

video instructed.

I don't have a node folder from the download it asked me if I wanted to trash it and I agreed because I did not think i needed it. Is there a video on how to install the module from npm node package manager.

In bash I run the code and for status code console.log(response.statusCode); I get back a 301 error. I will look up how to install HTTP module in the meantime

I ran this line npm install http-server -g persmission denied It took a while and output alot of lines

I have 21 folders with the name node_modules what am I looking for
