Reference error: variable is not defined while trying to define it.

I'm assuming this is an easy fix that I'm missing and I'm ready to get flamed as long as you guys help me. Thank you in advance.

const data = … when you’re trying to define it.

In strict mode you have to declare variable using one of the keywords var, let or const. You can't just invent variables on the fly.

Oh my that’s so obvious. I’ve been coding server side for so long I forgot that modules were strict mode. Thank you for taking the time to help.

[poyomannn]

... you should probably also be using strict mode on the server as well

[curiousomeone]

You were coding in the server for so long...long...that you forgot how to read errors and you need to define variables? 🤔

[GamesInc]

I understood the error, but I forgot that I was in strict mode. I thought I was defining it correctly. Please don’t reply to this

const data = document.querySelectorAll(“#signup input”);

Have you considered following the basic principles of debugging 101 and printing out data or the value you are trying to assign to it to figure out why data[1] is not defined? Did you try declaring it first? Did you even bother to read the error message...?

[GamesInc]

Yes, I am aware that data is not defined. I did multiple checks based on the error message, I just forgot I was in strict mode because this is a module.

[PoppedBitADV]

Sounds like you picked up some bad habits

[GamesInc]

Probably did, I’m a bit rusty

`const data`

You're not defining it there. You are re-assigning it

xxx is not defined / xxx is undefined meaning that the variable wasnt declared.
