config,js beginner

@sdetweil There is no comma needed after the last entry, a comma is only needed if an object is followed by another object, a comma after a last object is not mandatory.

102 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 90 and instead saw ‘]’.
108 Expected ‘]’ to match ‘[’ from line 28 and instead saw ‘}’.
109 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 11 and instead saw ‘]’.
109 Missing semicolon.
109 Unrecoverable syntax error. (94% scanned).

okej, igot this,
we can take 102 dose that mean i just need to swap to }?
109 i have no ide what that translate :S

[sdetweil]

@idoodler yeh, i can never tell… some modules use the extra comma , some don’t … looked thru my config and it has one everyplace… doesn’t hurt…

[sdetweil]

@berne on 101 u have ] and then on 102 u have another ]

use a good editor Notepad++ on windows… it will show you the matching ( { and [ with ], } and )

@berne

• Expected '}' to match '{' from line 90 and instead saw ']'.
  • Remove the ] in the line above (Line 101) This will validate your config you can ignore the other warnings.

@sdetweil but can i trust https://jshint.com/
and do what it saying to get it right, like 102
just swap ] to }’ on 102

i what to learn… but is really hard, i Appreciate you time and @idoodler too

@berne I recomend you to to checkout the structure of the existing config.js file.

You may also check out the W3Schools documentation: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_objects.asp

@berne Can you paste your config.js? We can then have a look to see if it is correct and point to where you may have to make the changes.

As @sdetweil pointed out, a good text editor like notepad++ would show you the matching “{” and “}” etc.

I wrote a small post on this topic.
JSON is supposed to be easy and straightforward, but when there is nested data it can get quite complex.

@evroom and each module gets to customize the config to their needs, so no two look alike… (to the beginners)
