Trying to connect to localhost API

OK, so now I changed some of my code, but there is still a problem. I want to display the information from profile.js in to router.js like this: response.write("My name is:" + profile + "\n"); , or something similar. Now the app displays: HEADER My name is:[object Object] Footer

app.js file:

var router = require('./router.js'); //Problem: We need a simple way to look at a person's name, address, phone number and pictures //Solution: Use Node.js to perform the profile look ups and serve our template via HTTP

// Create a web server var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (request, response){ router.home(request, response);

}).listen(8080, "127.0.0.1"); console.log("Server running at localhost:3000");

profile.js file:

var http = require("http");

function printMessage(person) { var message = "My name is " + person document.write(printMessage()); }

var request = http.get("http://localhost:8080/person", function(response){ var body = ""; //Read the data response.on('data', function(chunk) { body += chunk; }); response.on('end', function(){ var person = JSON.parse(body); var profile = person[0].name.firstName; }); request.on("error", function(error){ response.end("ERROR"); });

});

router.js file:

var profile = require("./profile.js");

//Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e. Home function home(request, response) { //if url == "/" && GET if(request.url === "/"){ //show index page response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); response.write("HEADER\n");

    response.write("My name is:" + profile + "\n");


    response.end("Footer\n");


}

} module.exports.home = home;
