Null return in front end can be sorted by having an if loop in server end checking if null return different definition.

Have you fixed it? I'll give it a go later

[tormod17]

Didn't mean to close that

[sohilpandya]

Not given it a go yet let me know if you manage to get it done. I'll try to have a go tomorrow.

@tormod17 had any luck with solving this? I am stuck a bit.

in handler.js I am trying to do the following

    ac.import(function(err, words) {
      ac.findWord(userInput, function(err, found) {
        response.write(JSON.stringify(found));
        var ran = Math.random();
        if (found.length > 10) {
          ran = Math.floor(ran * 10);
        } else {
          ran = Math.floor(ran * found.length);
        }

        ac.define(found[ran], function(err, definition) {
 ------------------------- changes below -----------------------
          if(definition == null){
            console.log("---if loop for null definition");
            // change number in ran.
          }
          else{
            // continue with def.

          console.log("---- def in handler",definition);
          response.write('£' + definition);
          response.end('£' + ran.toString());
        } 
 ------------------------- changes above -----------------------
        });

      });
    });

Creating that if loop for null definitions. but having a tough time trying to solve how if the definition is null we can get it to run the math.random for the var run again.

Yeah I tried earlier today and ran a ground and suddenly realised I didn't
understand how the callback() function works on the API request. I was
goig to have a go at a function that reset if difinfition is zero and then
calls the rest of the functions again. Haven't tried yet.
