Use   instead of    see the example below that gives an error  app post   mews    req  res    gt    if  isValidMew req body            insert into db     const mew             name   filter clean req body name toString             content   filter clean req body content toString             created  new Date            That gives Syntex Error  invalid shorthand proprty initializer   Then i replace    with   that s solve this error   app post   mews    req  res    gt    if  isValidMew req body            insert into db     const mew             name  filter clean req body name toString             content  filter clean req body content toString             created  new Date

Because it s an object  the way to assign value to its properties is using    Change the   to   to fix the error  var options       host   localhost     port  8080    path         method   POST

In options object you have used     sign to assign value to port but we have to use     to assign values to properties in object when using object literal to create an object i e       these curly brackets  Even when you use function expression or create an object inside object you have to use     sign  for e g        var rishabh             class  final year           roll 123          percent  function marks1  marks2  marks3                         total   marks1   marks2   marks3                        this percentage   total 3                           john percent 85 89 95   console log rishabh percentage     here we have to use commas     after each property  but you can use another style to create and initialize an object   var john   new Object    john father    raja      1st way to assign using dot operator john  mother      rani     2nd way to assign using brackets and key must be string
