JavaScript Node.js Basics (2014) Building a Command Line Application Getting the Response Body

Unexpected end of input

So this hasn't reaaly worked yet from example code

var https = require("https");
var username = "robohat";


function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
  var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in JavaScript"; 
  console.log(message);
}

var request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response){
  console.log(response.statusCode);
  //read the data
  // parse the data
  // print the data
});

request.on("error", function(error){
  console.error(error.message);

  response.on("data", function (chunk) {
    body += chunk;
  });
  response.on("end", function(){
    consol.log(body);

  });

request.on("error", function(error){
  console.error(error.message);
});

It was tricky reconstructing this because your blockquote marks were not on separate lines, but I noticed:

  • your ...on("error"... function is missing a closing brace and parenthesis (causing "end of input" error)
  • you also have two references to response, but it is not defined

I'm curious, were you intending to blockquote your JavaScript code as Swift on purpose?
