Ethereum Node Connection TypeError Cannot read property version of undefined

0 votes

I have an ethereum node running in my system:

--rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport "8000" --rpccorsdomain "*" --datadir "/home/Sample/Ethereum/Data/node1" --port "30303" --maxpeers 2 --ipcapi "admin,db,eth,debug,miner,net,shh,txpool,personal,web3,solc" --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3,personal" --networkid 1900 --nat "any" --unlock "0" --nodiscover console init ~/Ethereum/Data/node1/customgenesis.json

I am trying to connect to this node from nodejs using the following code:

var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 =Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:8000'));
console.log(web3.version.api)

but, I am getting this error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'version' of undefined

Can someone help me solve this issue?

In the code that you are using to connect to the node, you are missing the new keyword. Your code should be:

var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 =new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:8000'));
console.log(web3.version.api)

This should work..
