Welcome there,
You are not really following this part of the instructions:
…in the
/jsonGET route handler you created in the last challenge…
Specifically, you need to think about when the code is run (defined), and when the variables can change.
Hope this helps
I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
