Adding javascript to cms page

[perryworld]

Hi,

We are new to Magento2 and have a question with regards adding javascript to a CMS page.

We have followed the example provided here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TQdz9i_o9M

We added this code

<script type="text/x-magento-init" xml="space">// <![CDATA[
//
{ "*": { "js/hello-world": {"a":1, "b":2}}}>
//
// ]]></script>

To the content of our home page.

When we refresh the page we get this error in the console

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token / in JSON at position 0

We didn't add the //'s and the CDATA to the code but it looks like they are causing the problem.

You can see this at https://www.southernrecords.co.uk

Any help would really be appreciated

Thanks

Rich

Do you really have hello-world.js file somewhere?

Hi KarlaSa

Thanks for your reply

We do have the file hello-world.js in the js folder (see below)

As per the video in youtube - and the file contains the following

define (["jquery","underscore"],

function($, _) {

console.log($)
alert('hello to you sir')

return function(config, element) {

//console.log(config)
//console.log(element)

}

})

It appears that the error is caused by the code added to the cms home page

Thanks for your help
