What is wrong with my syntax?

ChrisSergent — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:53:46 GMT

I want to use the findAddress Candidates, but I am receiving a syntax error. What do I need to modify?

<script>
         require(["esri/tasks/AddressCandidate",
                   "dojo/_base/array"], function (AddressCandidate,array) {
                       on(dom.byId("btnTest"),"click",function() {
                           array.forEach(addressCandidates, function(candidate) {
                               if (candidate.score > score && candidate.attributes.Loc_name === document.getElementById("ownerAddress").value) {
                                   stop = candidate;
                                   score = candidate.score;
                                   // Display the score on the console.
                                   console.log = score;
                               }
                           })
                    });
                           
                                   
     </script>

And the AddressCandidate code sample appear to be incomplete. What else do I need besides what they show. I figure my addressLocator; anything else?

Huh I've never seen console.log with '=', just console.log()

What is the syntax error that you're receiving? Where are you setting the variable score? The first time you run through the candidates in the foreach, is "candidate.score > score" getting evaluated properly?

Yeah, don't do console.log = anything, you overwrite it and can just break the internet like that.

But on your original question, where the addressCandidates array coming from?

I think what you are trying to do is use the Locator Task.

That was a mistake. I know better than to write assignment statements.

It's in my prans and curly braces. I don't have it set right.

If I reference the Locator Task, will I be able to use find Address Candidates? Say you owned every house on your block and had to enter each address on each line on an online form. I have to verify that each one of those addresses is correct or close. That's why I am trying to use Address Candidates.

But I am getting a syntax error from my code. Ignore the console.log line. I was in a rush, but there is a syntax error without that line. Any idea what it is?

I want to figure that out before I add more code.

Probably because addressCandidates is null. AddressCandidate is the data type for what is returned from a Locator, it doesn't do anything.

This is what you want

You're missing an additional "});" at the end. The following is syntactically correct:

require(["esri/tasks/AddressCandidate", "dojo/_base/array"], function (AddressCandidate,array) {  
 on(dom.byId("btnTest"),"click",function() {  
  array.forEach(addressCandidates, function(candidate) {  
   if (candidate.score > score && candidate.attributes.Loc_name === document.getElementById("ownerAddress").value) {  
    stop = candidate;  
    score = candidate.score;  
    // Display the score on the console.  
    console.log(score);
   }  
  });
 });
});

I recommend you bookmark this page: The Online Lint - I use it many times per day.

Thanks. I bookmarked that. I still had a little bit of trouble following it, but at least it gives tips.

Chris,

That's why I like to use a IDE like Brackets with the Interactive linter extension. So that I never even have to leave my IDE or click a button to lint my app. There are many IDEs out there with linting but brackets is my choice.

I use Visual Studio and I had Lint on it once, but it found a lot of errors with the JavaScript API and/or jQuery. Is there a way to make it exclude files?

Chris,

I am not familiar with VS linting add-ons but in most linters you just use directives like this in your JS code:

/*global define, dojo, console, window, setTimeout*/

/*jslint maxlen: 800, -W116 */
