javascript - node js not working with SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier -
so, started learning node.js , tried basic thing in world: "hello world" server.
the code following (copied actual book):
var http = require("http"); http.createserver(function(request, response) { response.writehead(200, {"content-type": "text/plain"}); response.write("hello world"); response.end(); }).listen(8888);
i hit node.js
executable, type node server.js
, gives famous syntaxerror: unexpected identifier
.
tried looking similar questions couldn't find something simple i'm trying accomplish.
the node repl
aka node shell, repl provides way interactively run javascript
, see results. can used debugging, testing, or trying things out. here 1 how-to-use-nodejs-repl
whereas, command line used run node command node server.js
.
you run node server.js
in command line.
