14,738 PointsWithin the function get() you have a variable
let body = ""
This is within a function call this is now scoped within that please see comments!
function get(query) {
let body= ""; // Move this to the top of the function!
const request= http.get(`http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=${query}&APPID=${api.key}`, response=> {
// let body= ""; <--- This is scoped within this function ^
response.on("data", data=>{
body+= data.toString;
});
response.on('end', ()=>{
const core= JSON.parse(body);
console.dir(core);
});
});
};
