I've tried to search over what seems to be the entire internet, but I'm still vexed by a problem with a JS class I'm writing for a Micro Service (still in learning a bit).
So, I try to call a class method on an instantiated object, and according to my knowledge and my (faulty I presume) unit tests it should work.
Well, I'll start with the error I receive:
GET /api/users 500 2.863 ms - 2649
TypeError: Cannot read property 'repository' of undefined
at list (C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Programming\node\kaguwa-ngn\kaguwa-user-service\controllers\user-controller.js:20:9)
at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Programming\node\kaguwa-ngn\kaguwa-user-service\node_modules\express\lib\router\layer.js:95:5)
at next (C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Programming\node\kaguwa-ngn\kaguwa-user-service\node_modules\express\lib\router\route.js:137:13)
(And a lot more).
The code calling code:
user-controller.js
'use strict';
var utils = require('./utils');
class UserController {
constructor(repository) {
this.repository = repository || {};
}
/**
*
* Lists all users.
*
* @param {object} req
* @param {object} res
*/
list(req, res) {
this.repository.list(function (err, users) {
if (err) return res.status(500).json(utils.createError(500));
if (Object.keys(users).length !== 0) {
res.json(users);
} else {
res.status(404).json(utils.createNotFound('user', true));
}
});
}
// more code
}
module.exports = UserController
Caller of controller
user-api.js
'use strict';
var express = require('express');
var UserController = require('../controllers/user-controller');
var router = express.Router();
module.exports = function (options) {
var userController = new UserController(options.repository);
router.get('/users', userController.list);
// Mode code
return router;
};
I really jave no idea on why this undefined in UserController.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
