uncaught reference error

[piemadd]

I am trying to make a chatbot in node.js. Everything is going fine but one thing. When I go to check the code on js.do, I get "JavaScript error: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined on line 4"

 

Here is the code. I think the same error might appear on lines 5 and 6 also.

 

<script>
'use strict'

const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('bodyparser')
const request = require('request')

const app = express()

app.set('port', (process.env.PORT || 5000))

// Allows to process the data
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}))
app.use(bodyParser.json())

// Routes

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
	res.send("Hi I am ImplosiveBot")
})

//LTT Connection

app.get('/webhook/', function(req, res) {
	if (req.query['hub.verify_token'] === "testpasswordforbot") {
		res.send(req.query['hub.challenge'])
	}
	res.send("Wrong Token")
})

app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
	console.log("running: port")
})
</script>

Thanks!

i’m going on a lim here but i think you need an extension behind it say express.js

so:

 

 

const express = require('express.js')
const bodyParser = require('bodyparser.js')
const request = require('request.js')

See https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html

Is this client-side code? Because Node.Js isn't for client-side code.

The use of the <script> tags is throwing me off.

 

I haven't exactly tried it, but see if you can import those plugins with the Node console via a terminal.

require is part of Node.js, not JavaScript and js.do doesn't support Node.js code.

You're running this in node?

yes

to use require() syntax on the client side you have to use something like System.js. If you are running this with node you have to remove the script tags. If you are using Heroku as a hosting service you have to define a start script inside your package.json. You can simply use

{
 "scripts": {
 	"start": "node file.js"
 }
}

  If you are running on a local machine you can use just the node <file.js>

Please post your package.json here. I can't exactly help if I don't have your package file. But I guess you are missing a comma or a colon. 

{
	"key": "value",
	"key2": "value2"
}

JSON follows a key-value schema. If you are having multiple keys under a parent element you have to write a comma like shown above. The key and the values have to be separated by a colon
