I have a value stored in a variable called myStation. Now I'd like to find that value in an array located in another file called station.js. When I find a match I would like to grab the stationID. The code I'm using let stationNewName = Stations.find((s) => s.stationName === myStation);
is causing the error Error handled: Stations.find is not a function. What am I missing?
I was hoping to not have to load the overhead of Lodash library, and thought I should be able to accomplish with basic javascript code. Here are excerpts from my code that relate to the error:
Requires the station.js file
const Stations = require(./stations.js);
Here's an excerpt leading up to the code causing the error.
The next line is executed in one of my Handlers where myStation is receiving the value CBS
const myStation = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.slots.stationName.value;
The next line is producing the error: Error handled: Stations.find is not a function.
let stationNewName = Stations.find((s) => s.stationName === myStation);
This is an excerpt from my array in the stations.js file
STATIONS: [
{stationName: CBS, stationID: 8532885},
{stationName: NBC, stationID: 8533935},
{stationName: ABC, stationID: 8534048},
],
Updated Array to include full module
'use strict';
module.exports = {
STATIONS: [
{stationName: CBS, stationID: 8532885},
{stationName: NBC, stationID: 8533935},
{stationName: ABC, stationID: 8534048},
],
};
